+===The Travels of Jabir b. 'Abd Allah===
 Jabir traveled to [[Egypt]] in 50 AH/670 where a number of Egyptians have narrated hadith from him. [[Maslama b. Mukhallad al-Ansari]], a tribal member of Jabir, was the governor of Egypt in that time. As Ibn Manda said in his accounts, Jabir traveled to [[Sham]] and Egypt along with Maslama.
-According to hadith sources, Jabir traveled to Sham in order to acquire a hadith on [[Qisas]] (retaliation) from [['Abdullah b. Unays]]; the exact time is unknown. He traveled to Sham in the time of Muawiya, but Muawiya ignored him. Jabir was upset, so he refused a 600 Dinar gift from Muawiya and returned to [[Medina]]. Considering the behavior of Muawiya toward Jabir, Umayyad caliphs constantly treated the people of Medina with contempt which was originated from the murder of the third Caliph, [['Uthman]].
