Abd al-Rahman reported on the authority of his father Abu Sa’id (Allah be pleased with him) that he heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have declared sacred what is between the two lava grounds of Medina just as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared Mecca as sacred. He (the narrator) then said: Abu Sa’id caught hold of (Abu Bakr, another narrator, used the word” found” ) a bird in his hand and then released it from his hand and set it free.

Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: Allah bless them in their measurements, bless them in their sa’s and bless them in their mudd.

Sahl b. Hunif reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) pointed with his hands towards Medina and said: That is a sacred territory and a place of safety.

Anas b. Malik (Allah he pleased with him) reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: O Allah, increase in Medina twice the blessings (Thou showered) on Mecca.

‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: When we came to Medina, and it was an unhealthy, uncogenial place, Abu Bakr fell sick and Bilal also fell sick; and when Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saw the illness of his Companions he said: O Allah, make Medina as congenial to us as you made Mecca congenial or more than that; make it conducive to health, and bleesus in its sa’ and in its mudd, and transfer its fever to al-juhfa.

Ibrahim al-Taimi reported on the authority of his father: ‘Ali b. Abi Talib (Allah be pleased with him) addressed us and said: He who thought that we have besides the Holy Qur’an anything else that we recite, he told a lie. And this document which is hanging by the sheath of the sword contains but the ages of the camels, and the nature of the wounds. He (Hadrat ‘Ali) reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Medina is sacred from ‘Air to Thaur; So if anyone makes an innovation or accommodates an innovator, the curse of Allah, the angels, and all persons will fall upon him, and Allah will not accept any obligatory or supererogatory act as recompense from them. And the protection granted by the Muslims is one and must be respected by the humblest of them. If anyone makes a false claim to paternity, or being a client of other than his own masters, there is upon him the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people. Allah will not accept from him any recompense in the form of obligatory acts or supererogatory acts. The hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr and Zabair ends with (these words): The humblest among them should respect it; and what follows after it is not mentioned there, and in the hadith transmitted by them (these words are) not found: (The document was hanging) on the sheath of his sword.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of A’mash with the same chain of transmitters (but at the end) these words are added: ” He who violated the covenant with a Muslim, there is upon him the curse of Allah, of angels and of all people. Neither an obligatory act nor a supererogatory act would be accepted from him as recompense on the Day of Resurrection; and in the hadith transmitted by two other narrators these words are not found:” He who claimed false paternity.” And in the hadith transmitted by Waki’ there is no mention of the Day of Resurrection.

A hadith like this has been narrated with the same chain of transmitters by A’mash with a slight variation of words.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Medina is a sacred territory, so he who made any innovation in it. or gave protection to an innovator, there is upon him the curse of Allah, that of the angels and that of all the people. There would not be accepted on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts or supererogatory acts from him.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of A’mash with the same chain of transmitters, but no mention has been made of the Day of Resurrection. But this addition is made: ” The protection granted by Muslims is one and must be respected by the humblest of them. And he who broke the covenant made by a Muslim, there is a curse of Allah, of his angels, and of the whole people upon him, and neither an obligatory act nor a supererogatory act would be accepted from him as recompense on the Day of Resurrection.”
