Chapter 2 Superiority of Al-Madina. It expels (evil) persons
باب فَضْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَنَّهَا تَنْفِي النَّاسَ
Sahih al-Bukhari 1871

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “I was ordered to migrate to a town which will swallow (conquer) other towns
and is called Yathrib and that is Medina, and it turns out (bad) persons as a furnace removes the
impurities of iron.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحُبَابِ، سَعِيدَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ ‏”‏ أُمِرْتُ بِقَرْيَةٍ تَأْكُلُ الْقُرَى يَقُولُونَ يَثْرِبُ‏.‏ وَهْىَ الْمَدِينَةُ، تَنْفِي النَّاسَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ ‏”‏‏.‏
