1- On the authority of Sa� d bin Abi Waqqas t who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, �Madinah is better for them if they knew; nobody leaves preferring another place to it except that Allah replaces him with someone better than him. And nobody perseveres with its hard times[ Al-La�waa: Hardship and constraints] and difficulties except that I shall be for him on the day of Resurrection an intercessor or a witness.� [ Source: Muslim.]
2- On the authority of Abu Hurayrah t: Indeed the Prophet ﷺ said: �I have been ordered to go to a village[ Ordered to go to a village: to migrate to it, stay and live therein.] that eats up other villages[ Eats up villages: Its people are conquerors of other places and it will be the centre of the troops of Islam.], which people call Yathrib[ People call it Yathrib: It was called Yathrib by its people during the Jahiliyah period, but it is more suitable to call it Al�Madinah.] and it is Madinah; it expels bad men[ It expels people: i.e. it removes the evil ones among them.] as bellows[ Bellows: that which the blacksmiths blow their fire with.] remove dirt from iron[ Iron dirt: Its dirt and other impurities.].� [ Agreed upon.]
