"إِنّى أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لابَتَى المدينَةِ أَن يُقْطَعَ عِضَاهُهَا، أوْ يُقْتَلَ صَيْدُهَا، المدينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانوا يَعْلَمُونَ، لا يَدَعُهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلا أَبْدَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ، وَلا يثبُتُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى لأوَائِهَا وَجَهْدهَا إِلا كنْتُ لَهُ شَفيعًا أو شَهيدًا يَوْمَ الْقيَامة، وَلا يُريدُ أَحَدٌ أَهْلَ الْمَدينَة بسُوء إِلا أَذَابَهُ اللَّهُ في النَّارِ ذَوْبَ الرَّصَاصِ أَوْ ذَوْبَ الملْحِ فِى الْمَاءِ) .

I have declared sacred the territory between the two lava plains of Medina, so its trees should not be cut down, or its game killed; and he also said: Medina is best for them if they knew. No one leaves it through dislike of it without Allah putting in it someone better than he in place of him; and no one will stay there in spite of its hardships and distress without my being an intercessor or witness on behalf of him on the Day of Resurrection.  

مسلم:١٣٦٣aحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَىِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ عِضَاهُهَا أَوْ يُقْتَلَ صَيْدُهَا وَقَالَ الْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ لاَ يَدَعُهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلاَّ أَبْدَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ وَلاَ يَثْبُتُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى لأْوَائِهَا وَجَهْدِهَا إِلاَّ كُنْتُ لَهُ شَفِيعًا أَوْ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

ahmad:1606ʿAffān > ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Ziyād > ʿUthmān b. Ḥakīm > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, I sanctify what is between the two lava fields of Al-Madinah just as Ibrahim sanctified it. Its game is not hunted, its trees are not cut, and no one leaves it out of desire for it except that Allah substitutes something better for him. Al-Madinah is better for them if they only knew. And no one wishes harm upon them except that Allah melts him like lead in the Fire or like salt in water."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لابَتَيْ الْمَدِينَةِكَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَرَمَهُ لَا يُقْطَعُ عِضَاهُهَا وَلا يُقْتَلُ صَيْدُهَا وَلا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلا أَبْدَلَهَا اللهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَلا يُرِيدُهُمِ أحَدٌ بِسُوءٍ إِلا أَذَابَهُ اللهُ ذَوْبَ الرَّصَاصِ فِي النَّارِ أَوْ ذَوْبَ الْمِلْحِ فِي الْمَاءِ

nasai-kubra:4265Ayyūb b. Muḥammad al-Wazzān > Marwān > ʿUthmān b. Ḥakīm > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one leaves Medina desiring to be away from it except that Allah will replace it with something better for him, and no one remains patient in it and endures its hardships until he dies in it, except that I will be a witness for him or an intercessor for him on the Day of Resurrection. And the space between its two lava fields is made sacred, so no one should cut its trees or hunt its game. And no one from the people of Medina intends evil except that Allah will melt him in the fire like the melting of lead or the melting of salt in water."
