عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَنْ سَمَّى الْمَدِينَةَ يَثْرِبَ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، هِيَ طَابَةُ هِيَ طَابَةُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever refers to Madinah Munawwarah by the name of Yathrib, let him seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty; it is Taabah, its name is Taabah.
