"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."

مَاتَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ بِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قَالُوا وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

“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.”

تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا مَاتَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

[AI] 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."

[AI] A man died in the city where he was born, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him. The Messenger ﷺ said, "I wish he had died in a place other than his birthplace." They asked, "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "When a person dies in a place other than his birthplace, it is as if he has traveled from his birthplace to the point where his footprints end in Paradise." Abu Abdur-Rahman Huwayy ibn Abdullah said to us, "He is not a reliable narrator for us, and this hadith is not well-preserved. Allah knows best. For the authentic narration from the Prophet ﷺ is, 'Whoever among you is able to die in Madinah, then I will intercede for him.'"

مَاتَ رَجُلٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ بِهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ» فَقَالُوا وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلَى مُنْقَطَعِ أَثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حُيَيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَيْسَ مِمَنْ يُعْتَمَدُ عَلَيْهِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عِنْدَنَا غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ لِأَنَّ الصَّحِيحَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «مِنَ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنِّي أَشْفَعُ لِمَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا»

"إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذا ماتَ بِغَيرِ مَوْلِدِه قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِه إِلى منقَطِع أثَرِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ".

"يَا لَيْتَهُ مَاتَ في غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ، إِنَّ الرَّجلَ إِذَا مَاتَ في غَيْرِ مَوْلِدِهِ قِيسَ لَهُ مِنْ مَوْلِدِهِ إِلى مُنْقَطَع أَثَرِهِ في الْجَنَّةِ".
