[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever is able to die in Medina, let them die. Whoever dies in Medina, I will be a witness or an intercessor for him." This was narrated by Salih ibn Abi Al-Akhdar and it was included in its chain of narration.  

الطبراني:٢١٢٨٩ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلُ ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ صُمَيْتَةَ قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَمُتْ فَمَنْ مَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ كُنْتُ لَهُ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا» هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ وَخُولِفَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ

‘Whoever among you can die in Al-Madinah, let him do so, for I will bear witness in favor of those who die there.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3112)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَمُتْ بِالْمَدِينَةَ فَإِنِّي أَشْفَعُ لِمَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا»
