عن جابر بن عبد اللّه الأنصاريّ رضي اللّه عنهما قال: كنا مع النَّبيِّ صلّى اللّه عليه وسلّم في غَزَاة فقال: «إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَرِجَالًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا، وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا، إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ، حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ». •وفي رواية: «إِلَّا شَرَكُوكُمْ فِي الْأَجْرِ» رواه مسلم. • ورواه البخاري عن أنس رضي اللّه عنه قال: رَجَعنا من غَزوة تَبوك مع النَّبيِّ صلّى اللّه عليه وسلّم فقال: «إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا خَلْفَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَا سَلَكْنَا شِعْبًا، وَلَا وَادِيًا إِلَّا وَهُمْ مَعَنَا؛ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْر».
On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with both of them), who said: We were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) on a military expedition when he said: "Indeed, in Madinah there are men who were with you in every march you undertook and every valley you crossed; they were held back by illness." In another narration: "...except that they shared with you in the reward." Narrated by Muslim. And al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: We returned from the expedition of Tabuk with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he said: "Indeed, there are people who remained behind us in Madinah; we did not traverse any mountain pass or valley except that they were with us; they were held back by legitimate excuse."

من حبسه العذر عن العمل الصالح كان له أجر عامله، إذا صحّت نيّته وقصده في الرغبة فيه. أنّ المسلم يُكْتَب له أجرُ العمل كاملًا إذا كان يَعمله لَمَّا كان قادرًا، ثم عجز عنه فيما بعد. المرض الذي يمنع عن فعل الطاعة المعتادة للإنسان لا يمنع ثبوت الأجر فيها.
Whoever is prevented by a valid excuse from performing a righteous deed receives the reward of the one who performed it, provided his intention and desire to do it were sincere. A Muslim is credited with the full reward of a deed he used to perform when he was able, but later became incapable of doing. Illness that prevents a person from performing his customary acts of obedience does not prevent the reward from being recorded for him.
