Volume 3, Book 30, Number 91
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that.
Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor
any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an
heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of
Allah, the angels, and all the people." (See Hadith No. 409, Vol 9).
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 92
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet came to Medina and ordered a mosque to be built and
said, "O Bani Najjar! Suggest to me the price (of your land)." They
said, "We do not want its price except from Allah" (i.e. they wished
for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the
Prophet ordered the graves of the pagans to be dug out and the land
to be levelled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut
date-palms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 93
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "I have made Medina a sanctuary between its two
(Harrat) mountains." The Prophet went to the tribe of Bani Haritha
and said (to them), "I see that you have gone out of the sanctuary,"
but looking around, he added, "No, you are inside the sanctuary."
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 94
Narrated 'Ali:
We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this written paper from
the Prophet (where-in is written:) Medina is a sanctuary from the
'Air Mountain to such and such a place, and whoever innovates in it
an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator in
it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people,
none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be
accepted. And the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim is to
be secured (respected) by all the other Muslims; and whoever betrays
a Muslim in this respect incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and
all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of
worship will be accepted, and whoever (freed slave) befriends (take
as masters) other than his manumitters without their permission
incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none
of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted.
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 95
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "I was ordered to migrate to a town which will

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The people will leave Medina in
spite of the best state it will have, and none except the wild birds
and the beasts of prey will live in it, and the last persons who
will die will be two shepherds from the tribe of Muzaina, who will
be driving their sheep towards Medina, but will find nobody in it,
and when they reach the valley of Thaniyat-al-Wada', they will fall
down on their faces dead."

be better for them; if they but knew. Sham will also be conquered
and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their
families and those who will obey them, to migrate (to Sham) although
Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. 'Iraq will be

their families and those who will obey them to migrate (to 'Iraq)
although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew."

The Prophet said, "There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not
enter except Mecca and Medina, and there will be no entrance (road)
(of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing in rows

inhabitants thrice (i.e. three earth-quakes will take place) and
Allah will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it."
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 106
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle told us a long narrative about Ad-Dajjal, and among
the many things he mentioned, was his saying, "Ad-Dajjal will come
and it will be forbidden for him to pass through the entrances of
Medina. He will land in some of the salty barren areas (outside)
Medina; on that day the best man or one of the best men will come up
to him and say, 'I testify that you are the same Dajjal whose
description was given to us by Allah's Apostle .' Ad-Dajjal will say
to the people, 'If I kill this man and bring him back to life again,
will you doubt my claim?' They will say, 'No.' Then Ad-Dajjal will
kill that man and bring him back to life. That man will say, 'Now I
know your reality better than before.' Ad-Dajjal will say, 'I want
to kill him but I cannot.' "

A bedouin came to the Prophet and gave a pledge of allegiance for
embracing Islam. The next day he came with fever and said (to the
Prophet ), "Please cancel my pledge (of embracing Islam and of

times and said, "Medina is like a furnace, it expels out the
impurities (bad persons) and selects the good ones and makes them
perfect."

When the Prophet went out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of his
companions (hypocrites) returned (home). A party of the believers
remarked that they would kill those (hypocrites) who had returned,
but another party said that they would not kill them. So, this
Divine Inspiration was revealed: "Then what is the matter with you
that you are divided into two parties concerning the hypocrites."

fire expels the impurities of iron."

When Allah's Apostle reached Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal became ill.
When Abu Bakr's fever got worse, he would recite (this poetic
verse): "Everybody is staying alive with his People, yet Death is
nearer to him than His shoe laces." And Bilal, when his fever
deserted him, would recite: "Would that I could stay overnight in A
valley wherein I would be Surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (kinds of
good-smelling grass). Would that one day I could Drink the water of
the Majanna, and Would that (The two mountains) Shama and Tafil
would appear to me!" The Prophet said, "O Allah! Curse Shaiba bin
Rabi'a and 'Utba bin Rabi'a and Umaiya bin Khalaf as they turned us
out of our land to the land of epidemics." Allah's Apostle then
said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as we love Mecca or even more
than that. O Allah! Give blessings in our Sa and our Mudd (measures
symbolizing food) and make the climate of Medina suitable for us,
and divert its fever towards Aljuhfa." Aisha added: When we reached
Medina, it was the most unhealthy of Allah's lands, and the valley
of Bathan (the valley of Medina) used to flow with impure colored
water.
