527. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ sent 'Abdullāh bin Rawāḥah to lead a military detachment, and that corresponded to a Friday. So his companions left
early in the day, and he said: 'I will remain behind to pray with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then meet up with them.' When he prayed with the Prophet ﷺ, he saw him and said: 'What prevented you from leaving earlier with you companions?' He said: 'I wanted to pray with you then meet up with them.' He said: 'If you had spent [all of] what is in the earth, you would not have achieved the virtue you would have had you left early in the day with them.'" (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth [is Gharīb], we do not know of it except from this route.
'Ali bin Al-Madīnī said: "Yāhya bin Sa'eed said: 'Shu'bah said: "Al-Ḥakīm bin Miqṣam heard no more than five Aḥādīth" and Shu'bah enumerated them, and this Hadīth is not among those enumerated by Shu'bah.
It is as if Al-Ḥakām bin Miqṣam did not hear this Hadīth.
The people of knowledge differ over traveling on Friday. Some of them did not see any harm in leaving on Friday for a journey without attending the prayer.
Some of them said that if it is the morning, then he does not leave until he prays the Friday prayer.'
