[Machine] Our Prophet ﷺ informed us in this gathering. He said, "Yes, I heard it in Medina when he claimed that a time will come upon people where the earth's treasures will be opened, and men will come out of them who will attain prosperity, abundance, and food. They will pass by their brethren, who are either pilgrims or settlers, and they will ask, 'What keeps you residing in this place and enduring the severity of hunger?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'He will pass away while he is still saying it repeatedly, and Medina is better for them. No one remains steadfast in it, enduring its difficulties and hardships until he dies, except that I will testify for him on the Day of Resurrection or intercede for him.'"
حَدِيثَنَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ الَّذِي نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ عَنِ الْمَدِينَةِ سَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يُفْتَحُ فِيهِ فَتَحَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهَا رِجَالٌ يُصِيبُونَ رَخَاءً وعَيْشًا وَطَعَامًا فَيَمُرُّونَ عَلَى إِخْوَانٍ لَهُمْ حُجَّاجًا أَوْ عُمَّارًا فَيَقُولُونَ مَا يُقِيمُكُمْ فِي لَأْوَاءِ الْعَيْشِ وَشِدَّةِ الْجُوعِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَذَاهِبٌ وَقَاعِدٌ حَتَّى قَالَهَا مِرَارًا وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَا يُثْبُتُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى لَأْوَائِهَا وَشِدَّتِهَا حَتَّى يَمُوتَ إِلَّا كُنْتُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا»
