Hadith 1381
حدثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَدْعُو الرَّجُلُ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ ، وَقَرِيبَهُ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا ، إِلَّا أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ ، أَلَا إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ كَالْكِيرِ تُخْرِجُ الْخَبِيثَ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَنْفِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ شِرَارَهَا ، كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A time will come for the people (of Madinah) when a man will invite his cousin and any other near relation: Come (and settle) at (a place) where living is cheap, come to where there is plenty, but Madinah will be better for them; would they know it! By Him in Whose Hand is my life, none amongst them would go out (of the city) with a dislike for it, but Allah would make his successor in it someone better than he. Behold. Madinah is like a furnace which eliminates from it the impurities. And the Last Hour will not come until Madinah banishes its evils just as a furnace eliminates the impurities of iron.
Hadith 1382
وحدثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحُبَابِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُمِرْتُ بِقَرْيَةٍ تَأْكُلُ الْقُرَى ، يَقُولُونَ : يَثْرِبَ وَهِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ ، تَنْفِي النَّاسَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ " ،
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have been commanded (to migrate) to a town (Madinah) which would overpower other towns. They (the people) call it Yathrib; its correct name is (in fact) Madinah. It eliminates (bad) people just as a furnace removes the alloy of iron.
Hadith 1382
وحدثنا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَا : حدثنا سُفْيَانُ . ح وحدثنا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَقَالَا : كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ الْخَبَثَ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرَا : الْحَدِيدَ .
This hadith has been narrated by Yahya bin Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): "Just as a furnace removes impurity," but no mention is made of iron.
Hadith 1383
حدثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَصَابَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ وَعْكٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي ، فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ ، فقَالَ : أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ ، فقَالَ : أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي ، فَأَبَى فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ ، فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّمَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا ، وَيَنْصَعُ طَيِّبُهَا " .
Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) reported that a desert Arab swore allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He suffered from a severe fever in Madinah (and) so he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying: Muhammad, cancel my oath of allegiance, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) refused it. He again came and said: Cancel my oath of allegiance, but he (the Holy Prophet) refused it. He again came to him and said: Cancel my oath of allegiance, but he refused. The desert Arab, however, went away (cancelling the allegiance himself); thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Madinah is like a furnace which drives away its impurity and purifies what is good.
Hadith 1384
وحدثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ وَهُوَ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حدثنا أَبِي ، حدثنا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّهَا طَيْبَةُ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَإِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ ، كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْفِضَّةِ " .
Zaid bin Thabit reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: It is Taiba, thereby meaning Madinah. It drives away impurity just as fire removes the impurity of silver.
Hadith 1385
وحدثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالُوا : حدثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى سَمَّى الْمَدِينَةَ : طَابَةَ " .
Jabir bin ahadeeth (RA) reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: Allah named Madinah as Taaba.
