English translation
[3352] 487 - (1381) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There will come a time when a man will call his paternal cousin and his relative, saying: 'Come to a life of ease, come to a life of ease,' but Al-Madînah is better for them, if only they knew. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, no one of them departs out of dislike for it, but Allâh will replace him therein with one who is better than him. Verily Al-Madînah is like a bellows: It eliminates dross. The Hour will not begin until Al-Madînah eliminates its evil ones as the bellows eliminate the impurities of iron."
