The Prophet said, “There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Mecca and Med –
ina, and there will be no entrance (road) (of both Mecca and Medina) but the angels will be standing
in rows guarding it against him, and then Medina will shake with its inhabitants thrice (i.e. three
earth-quakes will take place) and Allah will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it.”
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 106:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle told us a long narrative about Ad-Dajjal, and among the many things he men –
tioned, was his saying, “Ad-Dajjal will come and it will be forbidden for him to pass through the en –
trances of Medina. He will land in some of the salty barren areas (outside) Medina; on that day the
best man or one of the best men will come up to him and say, ‘I testify that you are the same Dajjal
whose description was given to us by Allah’s Apostle .’ Ad-Dajjal will say to the people, ‘If I kill this
man and bring him back to life again, will you doubt my claim?’ They will say, ‘No.’ Then Ad-Dajjal
will kill that man and bring him back to life. That man will say, ‘Now I know your reality better than
before.’ Ad-Dajjal will say, ‘I want to kill him but I cannot.’ “

Narrated Jabir:
A bedouin came to the Prophet and gave a pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam. The next day
he came with fever and said (to the Prophet ), “Please cancel my pledge (of embracing Islam and of
emigrating to Medina).” The Prophet refused (that request) three times and said, “Medina is like a
furnace, it expels out the impurities (bad persons) and selects the good ones and makes them per –
fect.”
Volume 3, Book 30, Number 108:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When the Prophet went out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of his companions (hypocrites) returned
(home). A party of the believers remarked that they would kill those (hypocrites) who had returned,
but another party said that they would not kill them. So, this Divine Inspiration was revealed: “Then
what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties concerning the hypocrites.” (4.88)
The Prophet said, “Medina expels the bad persons from it, as fire expels the impurities of iron.”

Narrated ‘Ali:
We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this written paper from the Prophet (where-in is
written:) Medina is a sanctuary from the ‘Air Mountain to such and such a place, and whoever in –
novates in it an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator in it will incur the
curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of wor –
ship will be accepted. And the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim is to be secured (re –
spected) by all the other Muslims; and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect incurs the curse of
Allah, the angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship
will be accepted, and whoever (freed slave) befriends (take as masters) other than his manumitters
