Sayyiduna Mihjan bin al-Adra' al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Hajiz, on the right side of Madinah, for a need. When I returned, I went along with him until he climbed Uhud and looked out over Madinah, and said: "Woe to this town! Its inhabitants will leave it when it is in its best state." Then he descended and I descended with him until we reached the door of the mosque. He saw a man praying, so he placed his hand on my shoulder and lit him up with his light, then said: "Is he saying it sincerely?" He said this three times. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is so-and-so and so-and-so; he is the most devoted in worship among the people of Madinah." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be careful, do not let him hear it, or you will destroy him," and he said this too three times.
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty is pleased with ease for this Ummah and dislikes hardship for it," and he said this too three times.
