Home Hadith Hadith 1801
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have made Medina a sanctuary between its two (Harrat) mountains." The Prophet (ﷺ)
went to the tribe of Bani Haritha and said (to them), "I see that you have gone out of the sanctuary,"
but looking around, he added, "No, you are inside the sanctuary."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 29, Hadith 3
← Previous Hadith
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina and ordered a mosque to be built and said, "O Bani Najjar! Suggest to
me the price (of your land)." They said, "We do not want its price except from Allah" (i.e. they wished
for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the graves of the
pagans to be dug out and the land to be leveled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut datepalms
were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.

We have nothing except the Book of Allah and this written paper from the Prophet (wherein is
written:) Medina is a sanctuary from the 'Air Mountain to such and such a place, and whoever
innovates 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
worship will be accepted. And the asylum (of protection) granted by any Muslim is to be secured
(respected) 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
without their permission 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.
