[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I have been commanded to go to a town that devours other towns and expels impurity, just as the bellows removes impurities from iron.  

أحمد:٨٩٨٤حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْسَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أُمِرْتُ بِقَرْيَةٍ تَأْكُلُ الْقُرَى وَتَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ
