Quran 9:121 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
Nor expend they therein in the way of God any sum small even if it be a single date or great nor do they cross a valley during a campaign march but it is recorded for them as a righteous deed that God may reward them the best of what they used to do that is the due reward thereof.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Nor do they spend in divine service little or much nor journey across a valley to strive in the cause of Allah but is credited to their account so that He requites them for every deed at the gauge of the best of what they accomplished
Quran 9:121 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
وَلاَ يُنفِقُونَ
( Neithr do they spend ), in reference to the fighters in Allah's cause,
نَفَقَةً صَغِيرَةً وَلاَ كَبِيرَةً
( any contribution -- small or great -- ), with regards to its amount,
وَلاَ يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِيًا
( nor cross a valley ), while marching towards the enemy,
إِلاَّ كُتِبَ لَهُمْ
( but is written to their credit ), for these actions that they take and which are under their control,
لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
( that Allah may recompense them with the best of what they used to do. ) Certainly, the Leader of the faithful, `Uthman bin `Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, acquired a tremendous share of the virtues mentioned in this honorable Ayah.
He spent large amounts and tremendous wealth on this battle ( Tabuk ).
Abdullah, the son of Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdur-Rahman bin Khabbab As-Sulami said; "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave a speech in which he encouraged spending on the army of distress ( for Tabuk ).
I`Uthman bin `Affan, may Allah be pleased with him said; `I will give one hundred camels with their saddles and supplies.' Then he exhorted them some more.
So `Uthman said; `I will give one hundred more camels with their saddles and supplies.' Then he descended one step of the Minbar and exhorted them some more.
So `Uthman bin `Affan said; `I will give one hundred more camels with their saddles and supplies.' Then I saw Allah's Messenger ﷺ with his hand moving like this - and `Abdus-Samad's one of the narrators hand went out like one in amazement - he said,
«مَا عَلَى عُثْمَانَ مَا عَمِلَ بَعْدَ هَذَا»
( It does not matter what `Uthman does after.
) It is also recorded in the Musnad that `Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah said, "`Uthman brought a thousand Dinars in his garment so that the Prophet could prepare supplies for the army of distress.
`Uthman poured the money on the Prophet's lap, and the Prophet started turning it around with his hand and declaring repeatedly,
«مَا ضَرَّ ابْنَ عَفَّانٍ مَا عَمِلَ بَعْدَ الْيَوْم»
( The son of `Affan (i.e., `Uthman ) will never be harmed by anything he does after today.)" Qatadah commented on Allah's statement,
وَلاَ يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ كُتِبَ لَهُمْ
( nor cross a valley, but is written to their credit ), "The farther any people march forth away from their families in the cause of Allah, the nearer they will be to Allah."

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Nor spend they any spending, small or great ) upon going or returning, ( nor do they cross a valley ) in pursuit of the enemy, ( but it is recorded for them ) as a reward of a good deed, ( that Allah may repay them the best of what they used to do ) in jihad.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Nor do they spend anything (in Allah's Cause) - small or great - nor cross a valley, but is written to their credit, that Allah may recompense them with the best of what they used to do (i.e. Allah will reward their good deeds according to the reward of their best deeds which they did in the most perfect manner).
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
