عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَقَوْمًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the expedition of Tabuk and approached Madinah Munawwarah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, there are people in Madinah such that whenever you set out and whichever valley you crossed, they were with you. The people said: O Messenger of Allah! While they are in Madinah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, they are in Madinah; in fact, an excuse has kept them back.
