وَعَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنْ قَعَدْتُ خِلَافَ سَرِيَّةٍ تَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا أَجِدُ سَعَةً فَأَحْمِلَهُمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ سَعَةً فَيَتَّبِعُونِي وَلَا تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُهُمْ أَنْ يَقْعُدُوا بَعْدِي ".
It is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Were it not that I am mindful of hardship upon the people, I would not stay behind any expedition (sariyyah) that fights in the path of Allah; but I cannot arrange mounts for them, nor do they have the means to follow me, nor are they content to remain behind me."
