In brief! He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had a profound passion just to have a look at the blessed Mausoleum of the Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and to fill his eyes with spiritual coolness even if he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had to risk his life, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not worry. Moreover, his following sentence is also worth mentioning with golden words in history: ‘If you ask earnestly, my true aim and objective is the destination to Taybah, both the times, I embark on this journey with the same intention, if it is not so مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the bliss & spirituality of my Hajj would go unfulfilled.’

If only we are also privileged to obtain the true devotion and desperate longing for Madinah Munawwarah. Undoubtedly, those who have the sincere devotion to visit Madinah Munawwarah are certainly blessed with the mercy of the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and they are surprisingly privileged to pay their appearance there despite having no resources and provisions, and it would not be wrong, perhaps if it is said in this way that Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah زَادَھُـمَا الـلّٰـهُ شَـرَفًـا وَّ تَـعۡـظِیۡـمًا are the most sacred places where people do not go themselves but they are called instead. Let’s listen to three blessed sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1. Madinah purifies people

اَلۡمَدِيۡنَةُ تَنۡفِي النَّاسَ كَمَا يَنۡفِي الۡكِيۡرُ خَبَثَ الۡحَدِيۡدِ: i.e., It purifies people as the furnace purifies the iron from rust. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab-ul-Hajj, Hadees 1382)

2. Glad tiding of intercession

Whoever comes to visit me [my grave] and he comes solely for this purpose then it is necessary upon me to do intercession for him on the Day of Judgement. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, Hadees 13149)

3. Visiting my grave is as if visiting me

مَنۡ حَجَّ فَزَارَ قَبۡرِيۡ بَعۡدَ وَفَاتِيۡ فَكَاَنَّمَا زَارَنِيۡ فِيۡ حَيَاتِيۡ: Whoever performs Hajj after my [apparent] demise, then visits my grave it is as if he has visited me during my lifetime. (Daar Qutni, Kitab-ul-Hajj, Hadees 2667)
