It is narrated from Abu Sa'id, the freed slave of al-Mahri (may Allah have mercy on him), that during the nights of the event of al-Harrah he came to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and sought his advice about leaving Madinah and moving away. He also complained of the high prices there and the large size of his family, and told him that he did not have the endurance to bear the hardship and difficulty of Madinah. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Woe to you! I will certainly not advise you to do that, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever bears patiently the hardship of Madinah and its difficulties and dies in that state, I will be an intercessor or a witness for him on the Day of Resurrection, provided he is a Muslim.'"
