Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the expedition of Tabuk and approached Madinah Munawwarah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, there are people in Madinah such that whenever you set out and whichever valley you crossed, they were with you. The people said: O Messenger of Allah! While they are in Madinah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, they are in Madinah; in fact, an excuse has kept them back.
