The virtue of al-Madinah
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لِمَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا " .
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever among you can die in Al-Madinah, let him do so, for I will bear witness in favor of those who die there.”
