2510. It was reported from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent a detachment to Banū Lihyān, and said: "From every two men, one should go." Then he said to the one staying behind: "If anyone of you looks after the family and wealth of one who goes forth, he will get the likes of half the reward of the one going forth." (Ṣaḥīh)
2510 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، مَوْلَى الْمَهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ إِلَى بَنِي لَحْيَانَ وَقَالَ:: «لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ رَجُلٌ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْقَاعِدِ: «أَيُّكُمْ خَلَفَ الْخَارِجَ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ بِخَيْرٍ، كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ نِصْفِ أَجْرِ الْخَارِجِ»

If the person staying behind has willingly volunteered himself for this role, he will only get half of the reward. In case both of them were equally eager to participate in Jihād, but it was the Commander who picked one of them for the campaign and assigned the duty of looking after the family to the other, both will get equal rewards. And Allāh knows best.
