Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever was unable to take part in fighting with me should take part in an expedition at sea."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Amr bin al-Husayn, who is da'if (weak).
