[Machine] "An Amir from the leaders of discord came to the city. Jaabir had lost his sight, so it was said to him, 'If you would depart from him.' He went out walking between his two sons and stumbled. He said, 'Wretched is the one who fears the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' His sons said, 'Oh father, how could you fear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he has passed away?' He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever fears the people of Madinah has feared what is between his sides."'"  

أحمد:١٤٨١٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ أَمِيرًا مِنْ أُمَرَاءِ الْفِتْنَةِ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَكَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُ جَابِرٍ فَقِيلَ لِجَابِرٍ لَوْ تَنَحَّيْتَ عَنْهُ فَخَرَجَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ ابْنَيْهِ فَنُكِّبَ فَقَالَ تَعِسَ مَنْ أَخَافَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ابْنَاهُ أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا أَبَتِ وَكَيْفَ أَخَافَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَخَافَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَدْ أَخَافَ مَا بَيْنَ جَنْبَيَّ
