[3316] 457 - (...) It was narratedfrom Nâfî' bin Jubair thatMarwân bin Al-Hakam addressedthe people, and he mentionedMakkah and its people and its sanctity, but he did not mention Al-Madīnah and its people and its sanctity. Rāfi' bin Khadīj called out to him and said: "Why do I hear you mention Makkah and its people and its sanctity, but you do not mention Al-Madīnah and its people and its sanctity, when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ declared what is between its two lava fields sacred? That is (recorded) with us on a piece of Khawlānī leather, if you wish I will read it to you." He said: "Marwān remained silent, then he said: 'I heard some of that.'"
