اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي حُيَيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : مَاتَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ بِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ " , قَالُوا : وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " .
´It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said:` "A man who had been born in Al-Madinah died there, and the Messenger of Allah prayed for him, then he said: 'Would that he had died somewhere other than the place where he was born.' They said: 'Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: If a man dies somewhere other than the place where he was born, a space in him equal to the distance between the place where he was born and the place where he died."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1833. Commentary: This is a general matter. As for passing away in Madinah Munawwarah, then this is a very great felicity, which far surpasses the aforementioned virtue. The intent of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is not that this person dies outside of Madinah Munawwarah, but rather his meaning is that if only this person had not been born in Madinah; that he had been born elsewhere, migrated here, and then passed away in Madinah Munawwarah—because the virtue of dying in Madinah is established in the ahadith. See: (Sunan Ibn Majah, Al-Manasik, Hadith: 3112, and Musnad Ahmad: 2/74). And this is a great felicity for the believer. It should be remembered that for the attainment of every felicity, correct faith is a condition; otherwise, everything is futile.

Benefit:
This is Allah’s favor for that believer
who dies away from his homeland.
And this is purely His grace,
in which the servant’s own effort or intention has no part.
Due to his righteous deeds, he may receive many other places in Paradise as well.
But this is a special favor.
And Allah knows best.
