Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Ghazwa of Tabuk, and when he approached Medina, he said, "There are some people in Medina who were with you all the time, you did not travel any portion of the journey nor crossed any valley, but they were with you they (i.e. the people) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Even though they were at Medina?" He said, "Yes, because they were stopped by a genuine excuse."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجَعَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا وَلاَ قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ

“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.’”

لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَقَوْمًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مِنْ مَسِيرٍ وَلاَ قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ

لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَقَوْمًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ قَالَ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ

Anas bin Malik reported on the authority of his father, The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “ You left behind some people in Madeenah who did not fail to be with you wherever you went and whatever you spent (of your goods) and whatever valley you crossed. They asked Apostle of Allaah ﷺ how can they be with us when they are still in Madeenah? He replied “They were declined by a valid excuse.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2508)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رِجَالًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مِنْ مَسِيرٍ وَلَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ وَادٍ إِلَّا وَهُمْ مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُونَ مَعَنَا وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ قَالَ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رِجَالًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مِنْ مَسِيرٍ وَلَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ وَادٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُونَ مَعَنَا وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ قَالَ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say regarding the battle of Tabuk, after we returned, "Indeed, there are people in Madinah whom you have not traveled any distance or descended into any valley except that they were with you. Illness has kept them back."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ رَجَعْنَا إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَأَقْوَامًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا وَلَا هَبَطْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلَّا وَهُمْ مَعَكُمْ حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ

“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»

"إِنَّ بالْمدينة أقوامًا ما سرتُمْ مسِيرًا، ولا أنفقْتُم مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ، ولا قَطَعْتُمْ وَاديًا إِلَّا كانوا مَعَكُم فِيهِ، قالوَا: يا رسُولَ اللَّهِ وهُم بالمدينة؟ قال: وَهُم بالمدينة، حَبَسَهُم العُذْرَ".
