Abu Sa'id Maula al-Mahri reported that he came to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri during the nights (of the turmoil) of al-Barrah, and sought his advice about leaving Madinah, and complained of the high prices prevailing therein and his large family, and informed him that he could not stand the hardships of Madinah and its rugged surrounding. He said to him: Woe to you; I will not advise you to do it, for I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: No one will endure hardships of Madinah without my being an intercessor or a witness on his behalf on the Day of Resurrection), if he is a Muslim.
