Sunan Ibn Majah 2764 (Book 24, Hadith 12) #32118
Staying Behind with Legitimate Excuses

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was returning from a campaign and reminded his companions that those who stayed behind in Medina had valid excuses.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "When the Messenger of Allah was returning from the campaign of Tabuk, and had drawn close to Al-Madinah, he said: 'In Al-Madinah there are people who, as you traveled and crossed valleys, were with you.’ They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, even though they are in Al-Madinah?’ He said: 'Even though they were in Al-Madinah. They were kept behind by (legitimate) excuses.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَقَوْمًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مِنْ مَسِيرٍ وَلاَ قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ
