Musnad Ahmad 6638

Translation

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent out a raiding party, and they gained spoils and hastened the return. People talked about the closeness of their military expedition, the abundance of their spoils, and the speed of their return. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Shall I not guide you to a military expedition closer than that, with more spoils and quicker return? Whoever performs ablution then goes out to the mosque for the forenoon prayer is closer as an expedition, more in spoils, and quicker in return.'
