It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man from lying down to sleep among people (in their midst), and also forbade him from sleeping in the middle of the public road.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain, and Abu Bilal is alone in narrating it."
