"عَنْ أَبِى زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ جَيْشًا وفيهِمْ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، فَلَمَّا سَارُوا رَأى مُعَاذًا فَقَالَ: مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ قَال: أردت أَنْ أُصَلِّى الجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ أَخْرُجَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ يَقُول: الغَدْوَةُ (أو) الرَّوْحَةُ في سَبِيلِ اللَّه خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا؟ ".

"Abu Zur'ah ibn 'Amr ibn Jarir said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab sent out an army in which was Mu'adh ibn Jabal. When they set out, he saw Mu'adh and said: 'What kept you?' He said: 'I wanted to pray Jumu'ah and then leave.' 'Umar said: 'Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The morning journey (or) the afternoon journey in the cause of Allah is better than the world and what is in it?'"
