حَدَّثَنَا
يُونُسُ ،
وَسُرَيْجٌ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
فُلَيْحٌ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ :
" تُفْتَحُ الْبِلَادُ وَالْأَمْصَارُ ، فَيَقُولُ الرِّجَالُ لِإِخْوَانِهِمْ : هَلُمُّوا إِلَى الرِّيفِ ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ، لَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى لَأْوَائِهَا وَشِدَّتِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كُنْتُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When various countries and cities begin to be conquered, people will say to their brothers, "Come, let us go and live in the lush and fertile lands," although if they knew, Madinah would have been better for them. And whoever endures the hardships and difficulties of Madinah with patience, I will bear witness and intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection.
