Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ فَقَدَّمَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَقَالَ أَتَخَلَّفُ فَأُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقُهُمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَغْدُوَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا أَدْرَكْتَ غَدْوَتَهُمْ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah on an expedition, and it happened to be a Friday. He sent his companions ahead and said: "I will stay behind to pray Jumu'ah with the Prophet (peace be upon him), then catch up with them." When the Prophet saw him, he said: "What prevented you from going out with your companions?" He said: "I wanted to pray Jumu'ah with you and then catch up with them." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Even if you spent everything on earth, you would not have matched the reward of their early departure."
