حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا
الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ
عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنَّ مَوْلَاةً لَهُ أَتَتْهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ الزَّمَانُ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ ، قَالَ : فَهَلَّا إِلَى الشَّأْمِ أَرْضِ الْمَنْشَرِ ، اصْبِرِي لَكَاعِ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ صَبَرَ عَلَى شِدَّتِهَا وَلَأْوَائِهَا كُنْتُ لَهُ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " ، قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، وَسُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ ، وَسُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ .
´Narrated Ibn 'Umar:` that a freed a slave girl of his came to him, and said: "Times have become hard on me and I want to go to Al-'Iraq." He said: "Why not to Ash-Sham the land of the resurrection? Have patience you foolish lady; I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever endures its hardships and difficulties (Al-Madinah) then I will be a witness, or an intercessor for him on the Day of Judgement." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abu Sa'eed, Sufyan bin Abi Zuhair, and Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
In this hadith, if the word (aw) is for categorization and division, then its meaning will be that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will intercede for the sinners among the people of Madinah and will testify in favor of the righteous, or he will testify in favor of the people of his own era and intercede regarding those who come later. If (aw) is in the meaning of "waaw" (and), then the intercession will be for righteous deeds and for the fact that this servant remained in Madinah enduring hardships and difficulties with patience, and this will be in favor of the people of his own era.

[وأخرجه مسلم 1377/482، من حديث مالك به . من كتب الرجال وجاء فى الأصل : ”قطن بن واحد“ وهو خطأ . من رواية يحي بن يحي، وجاء فى الأصل : ”عن“ وهو خطأ]
Jurisprudential Explanation (Tafaqquh):
➊ Residing in Madinah Tayyibah and patiently enduring the difficulties encountered while living here is an extremely virtuous deed.
➋ Intercession is true, with the permission of Allah the Exalted.
➌ After Makkah Mukarramah, Madinah Tayyibah is superior to all other cities and all other regions.
