عَنْ جَابرٍ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَرِجَالًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا، وَلاَ قَطَعْتُمْ وَاِدِيًا إلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ، حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ» وَفِي رِوَايةٍ: «حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ» وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: «إلَّا شَرَكُوكُمْ فِي الْأَجْرِ» رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ أَنَسٍ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ جَابِرٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ.
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a military expedition, and he said: "Indeed, in Medina there are men who, whenever you traversed a journey or crossed a valley, were with you; illness held them back." In another narration: "an excuse held them back." In another narration: "except that they shared with you in the reward." Reported by al-Bukhari from the narration of Anas, and reported by Muslim from the narration of Jabir, and the wording is his.

أنّ من لم يستطع الخروج للجهاد تكفيه النيّة الصادقة على البذل والتضحية ليشارك المجاهدين في الأجر. اهتمام النّبيّ صَلَّى اللّهُ عليه وَسَلَّمَ بالصحابة المجاهدين وعلمه واطلاعه على اعذارهم.
That whoever is unable to go out for jihad, a sincere intention toward giving and sacrifice suffices for him to share with the fighters in the reward. The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) concern for the fighting Companions, and his knowledge and awareness of their excuses.
