عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
«إِذَا مَرِضَ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ سَافَرَ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِثْلُ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ مُقِيمًا صَحِيحًا».

[صحيح] - [رواه البخاري] - [صحيح البخاري: 2996]

Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"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."

[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari] - [Sahih Bukhari - 2996]

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.
