It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) intended to go on a military expedition and said: O group of Muhajirun and Ansar! Indeed, some of your brothers are such that they have neither any wealth nor any relatives, so every man should take two or three persons with him. Thus, each of us would have a turn to ride on his camel because of those two or three persons. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I also took two or three persons with me, and I too had one turn to ride, just like them.
