It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Dajjal will appear and he will trample over the entire face of the earth, except for Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah. When he comes towards Madinah Munawwarah, he will find rows of angels on every path of it and will not be able to enter Madinah. Then he will go towards the barren land of Jurf and set up his camp there. Madinah Munawwarah will shake three times, and every hypocrite man and woman present in it will come out and go towards him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Soon people will turn towards Madinah, until their boundary will be near a place called Salah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Faith will withdraw and gather in Madinah just as a snake withdraws into its hole.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from a journey and his gaze fell upon the walls of Madinah, due to his love for Madinah, he would urge his she-camel to move faster, and if he was riding another animal, he would also make it move faster.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A group of Muslims or believers will conquer the treasures present in the white palaces of the family of Kisra. Also, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I also heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Allah Almighty has named Madinah Munawwarah as Tayyibah.

It is narrated from Sayyida Fatima bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned Madinah Munawwarah and said: This is Tayyibah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been commanded to migrate to a town which will consume all other towns, that is, it will surpass all in virtue and rank. People call it Yathrib, but it is Madinah. It will expel the hypocrites and wicked people just as a furnace removes impurities from iron.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever refers to Madinah Munawwarah by the name of Yathrib, let him seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty; it is Taabah, its name is Taabah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): We returned from a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we stopped at Dhul-Hulaifah. Some people hurried towards Madinah Munawwarah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the night there, and we also spent the night with him. In the morning, he (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired about those people, asking where they were. It was informed that they had hurried towards Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They hurried towards Madinah and towards their wives. Beware! Soon a time will come when, despite Madinah being in a good state, they will leave Madinah. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would that I knew when that fire will appear from the white mountain of Yemen, by which the necks of the camels sitting in Busra will shine as they shine in the day.

It is narrated from Mihjan bin Adra’ that Raja says: One day I came with Mihjan and we reached the mosque of Basra. At one of the doors of the mosque, we found Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting. There was a man in the mosque named Sakbah, who used to perform very lengthy prayers. When we returned to the door of the mosque, Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) was still there. He was a man of great humor. He said: O Mihjan! Do you not pray like Sakbah prays? Mihjan did not reply and returned. Raja says: Mihjan said to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand and set out, until we climbed up Uhud. He looked towards Madinah and said: Woe to this town! When it becomes well-populated, its inhabitants will leave it, that is, they will migrate from here. (In another narration, Mihjan (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: O Prophet of Allah! Then who will eat its fruits, etc.? He said: The birds and the beasts.) Dajjal will come towards this town and he will see an angel with a drawn sword at every gate, and he will not be able to enter it. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) descended. When we reached the door of the mosque, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying in the mosque, he was just bowing and prostrating repeatedly. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: Who is this? After your question, I began to look at him carefully. I said: O Messenger of Allah! This is so-and-so, this is so-and-so, and this is so-and-so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Be quiet, by saying these words to him you will destroy him. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked on, until when we reached near his chamber, he let go of my hand and said: The best of your religion is that which is the easiest, the best of your religion is that in which there is the most ease, the best of your religion is that which is the easiest.
