Musnad Ahmad 1966

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abdullah b. Rawahah on a military expedition, and it coincided with Friday. He said: "He sent his companions ahead and said: 'I will stay behind and pray the Friday prayer with the Prophet ﷺ, then catch up with them.'" He said: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, he saw him and said: 'What prevented you from going out in the morning with your companions?' He said: 'I wanted to pray the Friday prayer with you, then catch up with them.'" He said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If you spent everything on earth, you would not attain their morning departure.'"
