Sahih Muslim 1253b (Book 15, Hadith 241) #10176
The Military Expeditions and Hajj Pilgrimage of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Zaid b. Arqam's recount of the number of military expeditions he participated in with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his Hajj pilgrimage.

Abu lshaq said: I asked Zaid b. Arqam: In how many military expeditions have you participated with Allah's Messenger ? He said: In seventeen (expeditions). He (Abu Ishaq) said: Zaid b. Arqam reported to me that Allah's Messenger had led nineteen expeditions. And he performed Hajj only once after Migration, and that was the Farewell Pilgrimage. Abu Ishaq also said: The second (Hajj) he performed at Mecca (before his Migration to Medina)
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ كَمْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ غَزَا تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَنَّهُ حَجَّ بَعْدَ مَا هَاجَرَ حَجَّةً وَاحِدَةً حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ وَبِمَكَّةَ أُخْرَى

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith recounts the number of military expeditions that Zaid b. Arqam participated in with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). He reported that there were seventeen such expeditions, but Abu Ishaq said there were nineteen instead. Additionally, it was mentioned that the Prophet performed one Hajj pilgrimage after his migration to Medina and another before his migration to Medina as well. This hadith highlights how important it was for Muslims to participate in military expeditions during this time period as well as how important it was for them to perform their religious duties such as performing a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime if they are able to do so financially and physically. It also serves as an example for us today on how we should strive to fulfill our religious obligations while also being mindful of our worldly responsibilities too.
