[Machine] O speaker, I see that you have settled in Mecca and mentioned its virtue, and what you have not mentioned of its virtue is even greater. You did not mention Medina, and indeed I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Medina is better than Mecca."  

الطبراني:٤٤٥٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَدَّادٍ الْعَامِرِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بِمَكَّةَ وَمَرْوَانُ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَذَكَرَ مَرْوَانُ مَكَّةَ وَفَضْلَهَا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَوَجَدَ رَافِعٌ فِي نَفْسِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَسَنَّ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ

أَيُّهَا ذَا الْمُتَكَلِّمُ أَرَاكَ قَدْ أَطْنَبْتَ فِي مَكَّةَ وَذَكَرْتَ مِنْهَا فَضْلًا وَمَا سَكَتَّ عَنْهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهَا أَكْبَرُ وَلَمْ تَذْكُرِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ»
