It is narrated from Zaid bin Aslam that among the seditious rulers, a governor came to Madinah Munawwarah. At that time, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) had lost his eyesight. Someone said to him: If you keep away from him (it would be better). So he went aside, walking between his two sons, and said: May that man be ruined and destroyed who frightened and terrified the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Both his sons, or one of them, said: Father! The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, has passed away, how did he frighten you? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever frightens the people of Madinah has frightened my heart.
