عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ))، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ: لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man died in Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer and said: "If only this man had died somewhere other than his place of birth." A man asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Why?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "When a person dies in a city other than his own, he is granted in Paradise a place equal to the distance from his city to the place of his death."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From this hadith it is understood that death in a foreign land is not something to be grieved over; rather, it is better for the deceased.
