Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaybah) narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When we returned from the expedition of Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is Taybah (Madinah), in which my Lord has settled me. It removes the impurity and filth of its inhabitants just as the furnace removes the dross of iron. So whoever of you meets any of those who stayed behind (from the expedition), let him not speak to him nor sit with him!"
