Hadith 1201

1201 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو هَارُونَ مُوسَي بْنُ أَبِي عِيسَي الْمَدِينِيُّ الْخَيَّاطُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَرَّاظَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّمَا جَبَّارٍ أَرَادَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِسُوءٍ أَذَابَهُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ، وَلَا يَصْبِرُ أَحَدٌ عَلَي لَأْوَائِهَا وَشِدَّتِهَا إِلَّا كُنْتُ لَهُ شَهِيدًا، أَوْ شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever intends evil against the people of Madinah, Allah Almighty will dissolve him in Hell the way salt dissolves in water. And whoever bears with patience the hardships and difficulties here, I will be a witness for him on the Day of Resurrection (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) or I will intercede for him.”

Explanation & Benefits
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.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
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:
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.
