Arabic text

3112 - حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ، فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لِمَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا»

Commentary

A human being does not have any power to breathe his last at a certain place, but he may wish and try to live his last days in Al-Madinah. Facing death in Al-Madinah is a great honor for believers, since the Prophet ﷺ shall be an intercessor for him.
