English translation

[3355] 489 - (1383) It was narrated from Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh that a Bedouin pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, then the Bedouin suffered a severe fever in Al-Madînah. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Muḥammad, cancel my oath of allegiance," but the Prophet ﷺ refused to do so. He came (a second time and) said: "O Muḥammad, cancel my oath of allegiance," but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ refused to do so. Then he came to him (a third time) and said: "Cancel my oath of allegiance," but he refused. Then he came to him (another time) and said: "O Muhammad, cancel my oath of allegiance," but he refused. The Bedouin departed (left Al-Madīnah) and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Al-Madīnah is like a bellows, it eliminates its impurities and purifies what is good."

489 - (1383) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَصَابَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ وَعْكٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي، فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي، فَأَبَى، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى، فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ، تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا، وَيَنْصَعُ طَيِّبُهَا»
