الْبَابُ الثَّالِثُ فِي فَضْل سُكْنَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالصَّبْرِ على لَأَوَاءِ هَا وَكَرَاهَةِ الْخُرُوجَ مِنْهَا رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا وَإِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ عَنْهَا
The third chapter regarding the virtue of residing in Madinah, patience with its hardships, the dislike of leaving it out of aversion, and that it expels impurity from itself
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12643 — The third chapter regarding the virtue
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ زَمَانٌ يَنْطَلِقُ النَّاسُ فِيهَا إِلَى الْآفَاقِ يَلْتَمِسُونَ الرَّخَاءَ فَيَجِدُونَ رَخَاءً ثُمَّ يَأْتُونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A time will come when people, in search of prosperity, will migrate from Madinah and go here and there. When they find prosperity there, they will eventually take their families there as well, although if they knew, Madinah would still be better for them in any case.
