In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy.

One day, Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him, came out then the people followed him; he said to them: “Do you have a need?” They said, “No, but we want to walk together with you”. He said, “Go back, for indeed it is humiliation for the one following and a trial for the one followed”.
