(The people of) Bani Salama intended to shift near the mosque (of the Prophet) but Allah’s Apostle
disliked to see Medina vacated and said, “O the people of Bani Salama! Don’t you think that you will
be rewarded for your footsteps which you take towards the mosque?” So, they stayed at their old
places.

Volume 3, Book 30, Number 113:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When Allah’s Apostle reached Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal became ill. When Abu Bakr’s fever got
worse, he would recite (this poetic verse): “Everybody is staying alive with his People, yet Death is
nearer to him than His shoe laces.” And Bilal, when his fever deserted him, would recite: “Would that
I could stay overnight in A valley wherein I would be Surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (kinds of
good-smelling grass). Would that one day I could Drink the water of the Majanna, and Would that
(The two mountains) Shama and Tafil would appear to me!” The Prophet said, “O Allah! Curse Shaiba
bin Rabi’a and ‘Utba bin Rabi’a and Umaiya bin Khalaf as they turned us out of our land to the land
of epidemics.” Allah’s Apostle then said, “O Allah! Make us love Medina as we love Mecca or even
more than that. O Allah! Give blessings in our Sa and our Mudd (measures symbolizing food) and
make the climate of Medina suitable for us, and divert its fever towards Aljuhfa.” Aisha added: When
we reached Medina, it was the most unhealthy of Allah’s lands, and the valley of Bathan (the valley
of Medina) used to flow with impure colored water.

Once the Prophet stood at the top of a (looked out from upon one) castle amongst the castles (or
the high buildings) of Medina and said, “Do you see what I see? (No doubt) I see the spots where af –

where rain-drops fall.”
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 91:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no
heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it an
heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the
people.” (See Hadith No. 409, Vol 9).
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 92:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet came to Medina and ordered a mosque to be built and said, “O Bani Najjar! Suggest to
me the price (of your land).” They said, “We do not want its price except from Allah” (i.e. they wished
for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet ordered the graves of the pa –
gans to be dug out and the land to be levelled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut date-
palms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.
