Jami at-Tirmidhi 527 (Book 4, Hadith 40) #26092
The Virtue of Praying with the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet praised Abdullah bin Rawahah for staying behind to pray with him instead of leaving early with his companions.

Ibn Abbas narrated: "The Prophet sent Abdullah bin Rawahah to lead a military detachment, and that corresponded to a Friday. So his companions left early in the day, and he said: 'I will remain behind to pray with Allah's Messenger then meet up with them'. When he prayed with the Prophet, he saw him and said: 'What prevented you from leaving earlier with your companions?' He said: 'I wanted to pray with you then meet up with them'. He said: 'If you have spent all of what is in the earth, you would not have achieved the virtue you have had you left early in the day with them'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَغَدَا أَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ أَتَخَلَّفُ فَأُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقُهُمْ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ رَآهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَغْدُوَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ ثُمَّ أَلْحَقَهُمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مَا أَدْرَكْتَ فَضْلَ غَدْوَتِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ لَمْ يَسْمَعِ الْحَكَمُ مِنْ مِقْسَمٍ إِلاَّ خَمْسَةَ أَحَادِيثَ ‏.‏ وَعَدَّهَا شُعْبَةُ وَلَيْسَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ فِيمَا عَدَّ شُعْبَةُ فَكَأَنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ الْحَكَمُ مِنْ مِقْسَمٍ ‏.‏ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي السَّفَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَأْسًا بِأَنْ يَخْرُجَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ مَا لَمْ تَحْضُرِ الصَّلاَةُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ فَلاَ يَخْرُجْ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ الْجُمُعَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the virtue of praying with the Prophet. Abdullah bin Rawahah was sent by the Prophet to lead a military detachment on a Friday. His companions left early in the day but he stayed behind to pray with Allah's Messenger. When he prayed with the Prophet, he asked him why he didn't leave earlier and Abdullah replied that he wanted to pray with him first before meeting up with his companions. The Prophet praised him for this and said that if all of what is in earth was spent it would not have achieved as much virtue as leaving early in the day did. This hadith teaches us that we should prioritize prayer over worldly matters and that it is highly virtuous to pray alongside our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ . It also shows us how much importance our prophet placed on prayer and how much reward there is for those who make an effort to join their prayers together even if they are apart from each other physically.
