Virtues of Madinah
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its
trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin
should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an heresy or
commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the
angels, and all the people." (See Hadith No. 409, Vol 9).
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet came to Medina and ordered a mosque to be built and said,
"O Bani Najjar! Suggest to me the price (of your land)." They said,
"We do not want its price except from Allah" (i.e. they wished for a
reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet
ordered the graves of the pagans to be dug out and the land to be
levelled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut date-palms
were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "I have made Medina a sanctuary between its two
(Harrat) mountains." The Prophet went to the tribe of Bani Haritha and
said (to them), "I see that you have gone out of the sanctuary," but
looking around, he added, "No, you are inside the sanctuary."
Narrated 'Ali:
We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this written paper from
the Prophet (where-in is written:) Medina is a sanctuary from the 'Air
Mountain to such and such a place, and whoever innovates in it an
heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator in it
will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, none of
his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And
the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim is to be secured
(respected) by all the other Muslims; and whoever betrays a Muslim in
this respect incurs the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the
people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship
will be accepted, and whoever (freed slave) befriends (take as
masters) other than his manumitters without their permission incurs
the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his
compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "I was ordered to migrate to a town which will
swallow (conquer) other towns and is called Yathrib and that is
Medina, and it turns out (bad) persons as a furnace removes the
impurities of iron.
Narrated Abu Humaid:
We came with the Prophet from Tabuk, and when we reached near Medina,
the Prophet said, "This is Tabah."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
If I saw deers grazing in Medina, I would not chase them, for Allah's
Apostle said, "(Medina) is a sanctuary between its two mountains."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The people will leave Medina in spite
of the best state it will have, and none except the wild birds and the
beasts of prey will live in it, and the last persons who will die will
be two shepherds from the tribe of Muzaina, who will be driving their
sheep towards Medina, but will find nobody in it, and when they reach
the valley of Thaniyat-al-Wada', they will fall down on their faces
dead."
Narrated Abu Zuhair:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Yemen will be conquered and some
people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families, and
those who will obey them to migrate (to Yemen) although Medina will be
better for them; if they but knew. Sham will also be conquered and
some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families
and those who will obey them, to migrate (to Sham) although Medina
will be better for them; if they but knew. 'Iraq will be conquered and
some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families
and those who will obey them to migrate (to 'Iraq) although Medina
will be better for them; if they but knew."

The Prophet said, "There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not
enter except Mecca and Medina, and there will be no entrance (road)
(of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing in rows
guarding it against him, and then Medina will shake with its
inhabitants thrice (i.e. three earth-quakes will take place) and Allah
will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it."
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 106:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle told us a long narrative about Ad-Dajjal, and among
the many things he mentioned, was his saying, "Ad-Dajjal will come and
it will be forbidden for him to pass through the entrances of Medina.
He will land in some of the salty barren areas (outside) Medina; on
that day the best man or one of the best men will come up to him and
say, 'I testify that you are the same Dajjal whose description was
given to us by Allah's Apostle .' Ad-Dajjal will say to the people,
'If I kill this man and bring him back to life again, will you doubt
my claim?' They will say, 'No.' Then Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and
bring him back to life. That man will say, 'Now I know your reality
better than before.' Ad-Dajjal will say, 'I want to kill him but I
cannot.' "

A bedouin came to the Prophet and gave a pledge of allegiance for
embracing Islam. The next day he came with fever and said (to the
Prophet ), "Please cancel my pledge (of embracing Islam and of
emigrating to Medina)." The Prophet refused (that request) three times
and said, "Medina is like a furnace, it expels out the impurities (bad
persons) and selects the good ones and makes them perfect."
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 108:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When the Prophet went out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of his
companions (hypocrites) returned (home). A party of the believers
remarked that they would kill those (hypocrites) who had returned, but
another party said that they would not kill them. So, this Divine
Inspiration was revealed: "Then what is the matter with you that you
are divided into two parties concerning the hypocrites." (4.88) The
Prophet said, "Medina expels the bad persons from it, as fire expels
the impurities of iron."

Medina.
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 111:
Narrated Anas:
(The people of) Bani Salama intended to shift near the mosque (of the
Prophet) but Allah's Apostle disliked to see Medina vacated and said,

rewarded for your footsteps which you take towards the mosque?" So,
they stayed at their old places.

Narrated 'Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle reached Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal became ill.
When Abu Bakr's fever got worse, he would recite (this poetic verse):
"Everybody is staying alive with his People, yet Death is nearer to
him than His shoe laces." And Bilal, when his fever deserted him,
would recite: "Would that I could stay overnight in A valley wherein I
would be Surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (kinds of good-smelling
grass). Would that one day I could Drink the water of the Majanna, and
Would that (The two mountains) Shama and Tafil would appear to me!"
The Prophet said, "O Allah! Curse Shaiba bin Rabi'a and 'Utba bin
Rabi'a and Umaiya bin Khalaf as they turned us out of our land to the
land of epidemics." Allah's Apostle then said, "O Allah! Make us love
Medina as we love Mecca or even more than that. O Allah! Give
blessings in our Sa and our Mudd (measures symbolizing food) and make
the climate of Medina suitable for us, and divert its fever towards
Aljuhfa." Aisha added: When we reached Medina, it was the most
unhealthy of Allah's lands, and the valley of Bathan (the valley of
Medina) used to flow with impure colored water.
