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

✧ 'Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ sent out an army, among them Mu'adh b. Jabal ؓ. When it departed, he saw Mu'adh ؓ and said: What held you back? He said: I wanted to pray the Friday prayer and then leave. 'Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: A morning or evening spent in the path of God Almighty is better than the world and all it contains.
