His Love for Madinah (Ahadith 1551 – 1552)

Bismillah.

If you get separated from someone or something you love, you want to get back to it as soon as you can, right?

Volume 3, Book 27, Number 28:

Narrated Humaid:

Anas (radiallaahu `anhu) said, “Whenever Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) returned from a journey, he, on seeing the high places of Medina, would make his she-camel proceed faster; and if it were another animal, even then he used to make it proceed faster.”

Narrated Humaid that the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) used to make it proceed faster out of his love for Medina.

Volume 3, Book 27, Number 29:

Narrated Anas (radiallaahu `anhu):

As above, but mentioned “the walls of Medina” instead of “the high places of Medina. Al-Harith bin Umar agrees with Anas (radiallaahu `anhu).

Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) loved his city Madinah. It’s obvious that he would want to get back to it quickly after returning from a long journey. Isn’t it cute? :)

May Allah instill its love in our hearts as well. <3
