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 AIMadinah there are people who, as you traveled and crossed valleys, were with you.' They said: '0
Messenger of Allah, even though they were in AI-Madinah?' He said: 'Even though they were in Al-Madinah. They were kept behind by (legitimate) excuses.''' (Sahih)
