Hadith 1186

1186 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا يَحْيَي بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُبَابِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أُمِرْتُ بِقَرْيَةٍ تَأْكُلُ الْقُرَي، يَقُولُونَ: يَثْرِبُ، وَهِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ تَنْفِي النَّاسَ، كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been commanded regarding a town that it will consume the other towns. People say: This is 'Yathrib', whereas it is 'Madinah', which will expel people just as a furnace cleans iron of its rust."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
The virtue of Madinah Munawwarah is established from this hadith. Previously, its name was "Yathrib." It should be noted that, in terms of overall virtues, Makkah is superior to Madinah.
In some fabricated narrations, the virtue of repeatedly saying "Madinah, Madinah" has been mentioned, whereas those are extremely weak (da'if) narrations.
O Allah! Grant the writer and his family a permanent place in Makkah or Madinah, and grant the opportunity to serve Your religion. Indeed, You are the Hearer and Accepter of supplications.

Explanation:

The condition is that he must be a firm monotheist (muwahhid); anyone who commits any form of shirk (associating partners with Allah) will not be deserving of this intercession.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
In this hadith, the virtue of Madinah is described: whoever intends evil against Madinah or tries to cause turmoil and corruption therein, Allah, exalted is He, will destroy and ruin him. Furthermore, this hadith also establishes the intercession of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on the Day of Resurrection for those residing in Madinah. Even if the residents of Madinah face any hardship, they should not leave Madinah, because if they leave Madinah, they will be deprived of the intercession of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on the Day of Resurrection. O Allah! Grant us also the honor of residing permanently in Makkah or Madinah; indeed, You have power over all things. Ameen.
