1614. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr said: "A man died in Al-Madinah, and he was one of those who were born in Al-Madinah. The Prophet ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him and said: "Would that he had died somewhere other than his birthplace." A man among the people said: "Why, O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "If a man dies somewhere other than his birthplace, a space will be measured for him in Paradise (as big as the distance) from the place where he was born to the place where he died." (Hasan)

Arabic text

1614 - حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حُيَيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ: وَلِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا مَاتَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ، قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»

Commentary

This bounty of Allāh is for a believer who dies away from the homeland. It is just a favor of Allāh about which a person's effort and planning has nothing to do.
