وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْعُكْلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ:
بَعَثَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ جَيْشًا وَفِيهِمْ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ؓ، فَلَمَّا سَارَ رَأَى مُعَاذًا ؓ فَقَالَ: مَا حَبَسَكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ أَخْرُجَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَغَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا
