Question:
How, O Shaykh, is the traveler not rewarded?
Answer:
If it is a permissible journey, meaning: he went for buying and selling, according to his intention: if his purpose is to be chaste and seek what is lawful, he is rewarded, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, so it is prescribed for the traveler to recite the travel adhkar in all cases, whether the journey is permissible or a sin.

The one who strives for the widow and the poor person is like the one who fights in the path of Allah, or he said: like the one who fasts and does not break his fast, and the one who stands in prayer and does not rest.
الساعي على الأرملة والمسكين كالمجاهد في سبيل الله، أو قال: كالصائم لا يُفطر، والقائم لا يفتر
