If a person falls ill or travels, he shall be credited with whatever good deeds he used to perform while being at home and in good health

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentions Allah's bounty and mercy, and that if a Muslim habitually performs a certain good deed while in good health and being at home, and then something occurs to him, such as an illness that makes him unable to do this deed, or a journey that keeps him too busy to do so, or any other excuse, he will get his reward in full, as he used to obtain it for performing this deed while in good health and at home.

Benefits

• This shows Allah's great bounty upon His servants.
• It urges us to be diligent in doing good deeds and utilizing our time while we have good health and free time.
