Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever adopts the desert life becomes harsh."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except al-Hasan bin al-Hakam al-Nakha'i, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
