Marriage and Military Expeditions

SUMMARY: A prophet advised his people not to go on a military expedition if they have married but not consummated the marriage.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A prophet among the prophets went for a military expedition and said to his people: "A man who has married a lady and wants to consummate his marriage with her and he has not done so yet, should not accompany me'. "
