“A man died in Al- Madinah, and he was one of those who were born in Al-Madinah. The Prophet ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him and said: “Would that he had died somewhere other than his birthplace.” A man among the people said: “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “If a man dies somewhere other than his birthplace, a space will be measured for him in Paradise (as big as the distance) from the place where he was born to the place where he died.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1614)   

أحمد:٦٦٥٦حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنِي حُيَيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

"A man who had been born in Al-Madinah died there, and the Messenger of Allah prayed for him, then he said: 'Would that he had died somewhere other than the place where he was born.' They said: 'Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: If a man dies somewhere other than the place where he was born, a space in him equal to the distance between the place where he was born and the place where he died."

[Machine] A man died in the city, so the Prophet ﷺ prayed for him and said, "I wish he had died in a different place." A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, why?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "When a person dies in a place other than his birthplace, his trace is connected from his birthplace to the point where he died in Paradise."
