Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A time will come upon the people of Madinah when people will leave it for various regions, seeking prosperity, and they will find prosperity. Then they will come and take their families away with them to that prosperity, although Madinah would have been better for them, if only they knew."
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Bazzar recorded it; the narrators of al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih.
