It has been narrated by Salama b. al-Akwa' that he visited al-Hajjaj who said to him:
O son of al-Akwa', you have turned apostate and have come to live again in the desert with the Bedouins (after your migration). He said: No, but the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has permitted me to live in the desert.
