Surah At-Tawba

It was not [proper] for the people of Madinah and those surrounding them of the bedouins that they remain behind after [the departure of] the Messenger of Allah or that they prefer themselves over his self. That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allah, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is registered for them as a righteous deed. Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of good.﴿120

Translation

That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allah, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is registered for them as a righteous deed.

Simplified Tafsir

ما كان ينبغي لأهل مدينة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ومَن حولهم من سكان البادية أن يتخلَّفوا في أهلهم ودورهم عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا يرضوا لأنفسهم بالراحة والرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم في تعب ومشقة؛ ذلك بأنهم لا يصيبهم في سفرهم وجهادهم عطش ولا تعب ولا مجاعة في سبيل الله، ولا يطؤون أرضًا يُغضِبُ الكفارَ وطؤهم إياها، ولا يصيبون مِن عدو الله وعدوهم قتلا أو هزيمةً إلا كُتِب لهم بذلك كله ثواب عمل صالح. إن الله لا يضيع أجر المحسنين.
