عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ فَقَدَّمَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَقَالَ أَتَخَلَّفُ فَأُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقُهُمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ {مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَغْدُوَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِكَ} قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ {لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا أَدْرَكْتَ غَدْوَتَهُمْ}
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, with an army. It was Friday, so he sent his companions ahead and said about himself: I will stay behind so that I may perform the Friday prayer with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and then join them. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw him, he said: What prevented you from setting out with your companions in the morning? He said: My intention was to perform the Friday prayer with you and then join them. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Even if you spend everything that is in the earth, you will not attain the reward of their setting out in the morning.
