It is narrated from the same chain of transmission that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if I did not think that the Muslims would fall into hardship, I would never stay behind from any expedition sent out in the way of Allah. But I do not find enough mounts on which I could make them ride, and they do not have enough means to follow me, and their hearts would not be content, and after me, they would begin to stay behind from participating in jihad.
