ذِكْرُ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا، عَلَى الْقَاعِدِ الْمَعْذُورِ، بِإِعْطَائِهِ أَجْرَ الْغَازِي الْمُجْتَهِدِ فِي غَزَاتِهِ
“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was returning from the campaign of Tabuk, and had drawn close to Al-Madinah, he said: ‘In Al-Madinah there are people who, as you traveled and crossed valleys, were with you.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, even though they are in Al-Madinah?’ He said: ‘Even though they were in Al-Madinah. They were kept behind by (legitimate) excuses.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2764)
لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ «إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مِنْ مَسِيرٍ وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ وَادٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ»
