Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that a man died in Madinah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer, then said: "Would that he had died somewhere other than his birthplace." A man said: Why, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man dies somewhere other than his birthplace, the distance from his birthplace to the farthest point of his journey is measured out for him in Paradise."
