The reward of righteous deeds for the sick person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions is this questioner who sent his question, saying: If I fall ill, will I be written the reward of the righteous deeds I used to perform but was unable to do?

Answer:
He said:
as saying, “When a man is ill or on a journey, what he was accustomed to do when staying at home and well will be recorded for him.”صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا مَرِضَ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ سَافَرَ كُتِبَ لَهُ بِمِثْلِ مَا كَانَ يعْمل مُقيما صَحِيحا
Mishkat al-Masabih 1544
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are some people in Medina. They are with you whenever you cover a distance or cross a valley. They have been detained by illness.ان بالمدينه لرجالا ما سرتم مسيرا ولا قطعتم واديا الا كانوا معكم حبسهم المرض وفي روايه الا شركوكم في الاجر.
Sahih Muslim 1911a

This is from the favor of Allah, His mercy, and His making things easy for His servants. That is because the servant is prevented from performing obedience only by his illness. And if a person intends to do a righteous deed but is unable to carry it out due to an excuse, the reward of what he intended is written for him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
