حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجَعَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ ، فَدَنَا مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَقَالَ : "
إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَقْوَامًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا ، وَلَا قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ
" ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالَ : " وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ " .
