1883. Narrated Jābir رضي الله عنه: A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and gave the Bai'a (pledge) for embracing Islām. The next day he came with fever and said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "Please cancel my pledge (of emigrating to Al-Madina)." The Prophet ﷺ refused (that request) three times and said, "Al-Madina is like a furnace, it expels out its Khabath" (the impurities - evil and bad persons etc.) and selects the good ones and makes them perfect."
1883 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ المُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، فَجَاءَ مِنَ الغَدِ مَحْمُومًا فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي، فَأَبَى ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ، فَقَالَ: «المَدِينَةُ كَالكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا وَيَنْصَعُ طَيِّبُهَا»
