Reports on one who lives in the desert and remote villages

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).

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The destruction of my Ummah will be through the Book and milk." The people asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the Book and milk?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will learn the Qur'an and then interpret it contrary to what Allah Almighty revealed; and they will love milk, so they will abandon the congregations and settle in the desert."
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, and he is weak (layyin). The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I fear nothing for my Ummah except milk, for Satan is between the froth and the pure milk."
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, and he is weak (layyin). The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not settle in the villages, for they are like graves." The narrator says: The word kufur means small villages.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Muhammad bin Jami' al-Attar, and he is da'if (weak).

It is narrated from him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not stretch out tent ropes for desert life, for desert life brings harshness. The Hand of Allah Almighty is over the congregation, and Allah Almighty does not care about the one who separates himself. No more than two people should ride an animal. Do not strike animals on their faces, for everything glorifies Him (the Lord) with His praise. Do not name your sons or brothers al-Hakam or Abu al-Hakam, for Allah Almighty is al-Hakam (the Judge)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Muhammad bin Jami' al-Attar, and he is da'if (weak).

Abd al-Rahman bin Ghanm narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor of Sham and wrote to him: "Give the people their stipends and take them out on campaign with you." Once, Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was giving the people their stipends, and this was in the latter part of his time, when a man from the countryside (rustaq) came and said: "O Mu'adh! Order my stipend to be given to me, for I am a man of the countryside from such-and-such a place, so that I may get back to my family before nightfall." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No, by Allah! We will not give to you until we have given to these people, meaning the people of the city, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'All the prophets will enter Paradise forty years before Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him); the poor among the believers will enter Paradise forty years before the wealthy; the righteous slaves will enter Paradise forty years before the others; and the people of the cities will enter Paradise forty years before the people of the countryside, because of the virtue of the cities, the congregations, the Friday prayers and the circles of remembrance; and when a trial comes, it falls specifically upon them and not on the others.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it from his teacher Ali bin Sa'id al-Razi, and he is weak (layyin). The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), though there is disagreement about some of them.
