Blessed Ahadees about the greatness of Madinah

Dear Islamic brothers! Madinah Munawwarah is that sacred city where the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم lived and he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم granted privilege to the soil of Madinah to kiss his blessed feet.

Having being blessed with all such privileges, the sacred city of Madinah gained greatness, distinction and blessings. It is for the reason this sacred piece of land became the most fragrant and illuminating city and the one who lives in Madinah is symbolised to be safe and dying in Madinah is a guarantee of intercession. In order to develop our yearning and passion for Madinah, let’s listen to 3 blessed sayings of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1.         The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: There are angels at all           the entrances (roads) of Madinah; plague and Dajjaal will not enter it. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 619, Hadees 1880)

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: I swear by the One       under Whose omnipotence my life is! In Madinah, there is neither any valley nor any path but there are two angels at it who are guarding it. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 547, Hadees 1374)

Imam Nawavi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: Excellence of Madinah Munawwarah has been mentioned in this narration. It was guarded in the blessed era of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Angels used to guard [it] abundantly. They have surrounded all valleys in reverence for the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

(Sharh Sahih Muslim lin-Nawavi, vol. 5, part. 9, pp. 148)

ملائک لگاتے ہیں آنکھوں میں اپنی

شَب و روز خاکِ مَزارِ مَدِینَہ

The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Whoever can die in Madinah should die in it, because I will intercede for those who die in Madinah. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 483, Hadees 3943)
