Nawawi_2_Traveling, page : 13
The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, directed his
Companions not to speak to the three of us. People avoided us as if
we were strangers, and I felt as if I was in a strange land. This state
of affairs continued for fifty days. My two Companions were so
overcome by misery and shame that they went into seclusion,
shutting themselves away in their homes. Being the youngest and
toughest of the three, I would go out and join my fellow Muslims for
prayers and walk in the streets, although no one would speak to me.
I would wait before the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, when he sat in the Mosque after prayer and greet him
wondering whether he had moved his lips to return my greeting.
During prayer, I would stand near him and I noticed that he would
glance in my direction when I was praying and look away when I
looked in his direction.
