Believers! Have fear of Allah and stand with those that are truthful. 119 It did not befit the people of Medinah and the people of the villages around them, to stay behind the Noble Messenger of Allah, nor to consider their own lives dearer than his life; that is because the thirst or the pain or the hunger that afflicts them in Allah's cause, and the step they tread on a place that angers the disbelievers, and whatever harm they cause the enemy – a good deed is recorded for them in lieu of all of these; indeed Allah does not waste the wages of the virtuous. 120 And whenever they spend anything [for the sake of God,] be it little or much, and whenever they move on earth [in God's cause] - it is recorded in their favour, and God will grant them the best reward for all that they have been doing. 121 ۞ It is not for the believers to go forth totally; but why should not a party of every section of them go forth, to become learned in religion, and to warn their people when they return to them, that haply they may beware? 122
