ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنْ سَتَكُونَ الْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرًا لِأَهْلِهَا مِنَ الِانْجِلَاءِ عَنْهَا لَوْ عَلِمُوهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour will not come until the city (Medina) removes its evil ones, just as the bellows remove impurities from iron." He said, "And there will come a time upon people when a person will invite his close friend and companion to ease and comfort, and Medina will be better for them if they know."  

ابن حبّان:٦٧٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَنْفِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ شِرَارَهَا كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ» قَالَ «وَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَدْعُو الرَّجُلُ قَرِيبَهُ وَحَمِيمَهُ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ»

A time will come for the people (of Medina) when a man will invite his cousin and any other near relation: Come (and settle) at (a place) where living is cheap, come to where there is plenty, but Medina will be better for them; would they know it! By Him in Whose Hand is my life, none amongst them would go out (of the city) with a dislike for it, but Allah would make his successor in it someone better than be. Behold. Medina is like furnace which eliminates from it the impurities. And the Last Hour will not come until Medina banishes its evils just as a furnace eliminates the impurities of iron.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَدْعُو الرَّجُلُ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ وَقَرِيبَهُ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلاَّ أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ كَالْكِيرِ تُخْرِجُ الْخَبِيثَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَنْفِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ شِرَارَهَا كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ

"يَأتِى عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَدْعُو الرَّجُلُ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ وَقَرِيبَهُ: هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ، هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّخَاءِ، وَالْمَدينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ، وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلَّا أَخْلَفَ اللَّه فِيهَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ، أَلَا إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ كَالْكيرِ تُخْرجُ الخَبيثَ، لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعةُ حَتَّى تَنْفىَ الْمَدِينَةُ شِرارَهَا، كَمَا يَنْفِى الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ".
