- .... And it was revealed concerning him also: {And they prefer them over themselves, even though they are in need (Surah al-Hashr 59:9)}. Glory be to Allah! Usama was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah than himself, and he had repeatedly heard the Messenger of Allah emphasize to him to march with his army to Mu'tah, until he (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said:
"May Allah curse those who lag behind the army of Usama." So, he made excuses and remained away from his battalion until the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) passed away, and the aim of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) from this expedition was left unfulfilled.
