[Taubah 9:118] And also upon the three who were kept in waiting; when the earth, vast as it is, was restricted for them, and they became weary of their own lives and became certain that there is no refuge from Allah except with Him; He then accepted their repentance in order that they remain repentant; indeed Allah is the Most Acceptor of Repentance, the Most Merciful. Section 15 [Taubah 9:119] O People who Believe! Fear Allah, and be with the truthful. [Taubah 9:120] It did not befit the people of Madinah 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. [Taubah 9:121] And whatever they spend, small or great, or any valley they cross - it is all recorded for them, so that Allah may reward them for their best deeds. [Taubah
9:122] And it is not possible for the Muslims that all of them go out; so it
should be that a party from each group go forth in order to gain knowledge in
religion, and upon returning warn their people in the hope that they may avoid.
