It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, it was the most plague-ridden land on the face of the earth. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) complained about this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: O Allah! Instill love for Madinah in our hearts just as You have instilled love for Makkah in our hearts, or even more than that. And make it pure and healthy by cleansing it of diseases, and bless its mudd and sa’ for us, and transfer its fever from here to Hajfah.
