English translation

2508. It was reported from Mūsā bin Anas bin Mālik, from his father, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “You left behind people in Al-Madīnah, you do not journey anywhere, nor do you spend (in charity), nor do you cross a valley, except that they are with you in it.” They said: “O Messenger of Allāh! And how can they be with us while they are still in Al-Madīnah?” He replied: “They were detained by a valid excuse.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

2508 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا، وَلَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ، وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ وَادٍ، إِلَّا وَهُمْ مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُونَ مَعَنَا، وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: «حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ»
