In Madīnah, there are people who are with you whenever you cover a distance or cross a valley. They have been detained by illness

Abu ‘Abdullāh Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on an expedition, and he said: "In Madīnah, there are people who are with you whenever you cover a distance or cross a valley. They have been detained by illness.'' Another narration reads: ''They have shared the reward with you." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: ''When we returned from the battle of Tabūk with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) he said: 'There are people whom we left behind in Madīnah who accompany us in spirit in every pass and valley we cross. They have been detained by a valid excuse.'''
