Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Abdullah ibn Rawahah on a detachment, and it happened to be on a Friday. His companions set out in the morning, but he said: "I will stay behind to pray with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then join them." When he prayed with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), the Prophet saw him and said: "What prevented you from setting out with your companions?" He said: "I wanted to pray with you, then join them." He said: "If you spent all that is in the earth, you could not attain the virtue of their setting out."
