Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, " He who pre pares a Ghazi going in Allah's Cause is given a reward equal to that of) a Ghazi; and he who looks after properly the dependents of a Ghazi going in Allah's Cause is (given a reward equal to that of) Ghazi."

Sharh · explanationclick to expand
Allah has facilitated for His servants the means to earn good deeds and reward; thus, He warrants that each person helping a believer to do a good deed will receive the same reward of the one who did the good deed. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ informs us that whoeverhelps a person who is going to fight in the way of Allah, financially so he can partake in the expedition,it will beas if he himself participated in the expedition, andhe will be given a reward equal to that of a fighter without affecting the reward of the fighter. All that because had he not covered the financial aspects, the fighter would not have been able to partake in the expedition. The reward of him who funds expeditions personally is more than one who just helps them without spending from his own money. Likewise, he who looks after the dependents of a fighter going in Allah's Cause is given a reward equal to that of the fighter. This is because without him looking after the household, the fighter would not have been able to travel and join the expedition. This hadeeth encourages us to collaborate in good deeds..
