The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) with an army, but he stayed behind to perform the Zuhr prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your companions have reached Paradise a month before you; go and join them." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I desired the virtue of praying and supplicating with you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, your companions have attained virtue over you."
