"And why do you not spend in the cause of God while to God belongs the herit- age of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all God has promised the best [re- ward]. And God, with what you do, is Acquainted."— Sahih Intl
