The inhabitants of the city of Medina and the desert Arabs dwelling around it were not supposed to disobey the Messenger of God or to give priority to their own lives above that of the Prophet. For if they had given priority to the life of the Messenger of God, they would not have experienced the hardships of thirst, fatigue, or hunger in their struggle for the cause of God, nor would their travelling have enraged the disbelievers and they would not have received any injury from enemies that God would not record for them as a virtuous deed. God does not ignore the reward of those who do good.
マディーナの人びとも周辺の（遊牧の）アラビア人たちも，アッラーの使徒のあとに居残って，自分の身命をかれのものより大切にするなど間違っている。かれらがアッラーの道のために，渇き，疲れ，餓えに会う度に，また不信者を怒らせる行（攻賂）に出向く度に，敵に何らかの打撃を与える度に，かれらに対してもそのことが善行として記録されるのである。本当にアッラーは，正しい行いの者への報奨を無益にされない。
