Arabic text

3111 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ لَيَأْرِزُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، كَمَا تَأْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ إِلَى جُحْرِهَا»

    [1] Ibn Hajar said: "- meaning the Kā'bah - " (Fathul-Bārī: 1586), and in the narration recorded by Mizzi, in the biography of 'Ayyāsh bin Abi Rabī'ah, through the route of Baghawi it says at the end of it: "Meaning Makkah."

Commentary

Due to the love of Al-Madinah believers are always eager to visit it. Prior to the Day of Judgment when disbelief will spread all over the world, even at that time, believers will exist in Al-Madinah.
