باب فَضْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَدُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَبَيَانِ تَحْرِيمِهَا وَتَحْرِيمِ صَيْدِهَا وَشَجَرِهَا وَبَيَانِ حُدُودِ حَرَمِهَا:
Chapter: The virtue of Al-Madinah and the Prophet's Prayer for it to be blessed. Its sanctity and the sanctity of its game and trees. The Boundaries of its sanctuary
Sahih Muslim 1361 — The virtue of Al-Madinah and the Prophet's Prayer
وحدثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حدثنا بَكْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُضَرَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ ، وَإِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا " ، يُرِيدُ الْمَدِينَةَ .
Rafi' bin Khadij reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Ibrahim declared Makkah as sacred and I declare sacred the area between its two stony grounds (lava lands by which he meant Madinah).

وحدثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعَنْبٍ ، حدثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ : أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ ، فَذَكَرَ مَكَّةَ ، وَأَهْلَهَا وَحُرْمَتَهَا ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَأَهْلَهَا وَحُرْمَتَهَا ، فَنَادَاهُ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ ، فقَالَ : " مَا لِي أَسْمَعُكَ ذَكَرْتَ مَكَّةَ ، وَأَهْلَهَا وَحُرْمَتَهَا ، وَلَمْ تَذْكُرِ الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَأَهْلَهَا وَحُرْمَتَهَا ، وَقَدْ حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا " ، وَذَلِكَ عَنْدَنَا فِي أَدِيمٍ خَوْلَانِيٍّ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَقْرَأْتُكَهُ ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ مَرْوَانُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قَدْ سَمِعْتُ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ .
Nafi' bin Jubair reported that Marwan bin al-Hakam (RA) addressed people and made mention of Makkah and its inhabitants and its sacredness, but he made no mention of Madinah, its inhabitants and its sacredness. Rafi' bin Khadij called to him and said: What is this that I hear you making mention of Makkah and its inhabitants and its sacredness, but you did not make mention of Madinah and its inhabitants and its sacredness, while the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) has also declared sacred (the area) between its two lava lands (Madinah)? And (we have record of this) with us written on Khaulani parchment. If you like, I can read it out to you. Thereupon Marwan became silent, and then said: I too have heard some part of it.
