Is a servant rewarded for the hardship he endures in worship?

The questioner : If an act of worship is difficult for the self, is the reward greater? What is your view of the one who says, "I will perform Hajj on a camel or on foot, because it is greater for the reward"? He takes this from the hadith of 'A'ishah when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to perform 'Umrah from al-Tan'eem?

The Shaykh : The answer to this is that we say: if the hardship is a necessary consequence of performing the act, you are rewarded for it. But if it is due to your own action, you are not rewarded for it; rather, you may even be sinful, you may commit a sin because of it. For example, if a person performs Hajj by car or airplane, but during the rituals he experiences fatigue from the sun or from the cold in the winter days or the like, he is rewarded for this hardship because it occurred as a result of his action. As for if it was...
Yes, because it occurred without his action. But if the hardship is due to his own action, such as exposing himself to the sun, he is not rewarded for this. That is why when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who had vowed to stand in the sun, he prevented him from doing so and forbade him, because a person tormenting his own self...
...is mistreating it and wronging it, and Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) does not love the wrongdoers. So the conclusion is that if the hardship occurring in worship is due to your action, you are not rewarded for it, and if it is not due to your action, you are rewarded for it. As for the hadith of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) al-Tan'eem, this is not a matter of seeking hardship, but because it is not possible for a person to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from within the Haram. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr, and he had ordered him to take 'A'ishah out, saying, "Take your sister out of the Haram and let her declare her intention for 'Umrah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained, or the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated, that the wisdom of her going out to al-Tan'eem is that she should go out of the Haram to perform the 'Umrah from the non-sacred area, since it is not possible for a person to perform 'Umrah from within the Haram. Yes.
