Warning against intending harm to the people of Medina

He who intends to do harm to the people of Medina, Allah would efface him just as water dissolves salt.

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ نُبَيْهٍ أَخْبَرَنِي دِينَارٌ الْقَرَّاظُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِسُوءٍ أَذَابَهُ اللَّهُ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ

[Machine] "He said that Abu Al-Qasim said: Whoever intends harm for the people of the town, meaning the people of the city, Allah will dissolve him like salt dissolves in water."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلَ الْبَلْدَةِ بِسُوءٍ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَذَابَهُ اللهُ كَمَا يَذُوبُالْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ

[Machine] "He heard the Qarraza, and he was one of the companions of Abu Hurayrah who claimed that he heard Abu Hurayrah say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whosoever wishes harm upon its people, meaning the city (referring to Medina), Allah will dissolve him as salt dissolves in water.'"

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْقَرَّاظَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلَهَا بِسُوءٍ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ أَذَابَهُ اللهُ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ

[Machine] "He heard Abu Abdullah Al-Qarraz screaming in the mosque, saying that Abu Hurairah told me that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever wishes harm upon the people of Medina, Allah will melt him like salt dissolves in water.'"

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ الْقَرَّاظَ يَصِيحُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِسُوءٍ أَذَابَهُ اللهُ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ

“Whoever wishes bad upon the people of Al-Madinah, Allah will cause him to melt as salt melts in water.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3114)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِسُوءٍ أَذَابَهُ اللهُ كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْمِلْحُ فِي الْمَاءِ»
