“A man died in
Al-
Madinah, and he was one of those who were born in Al-Madinah. The
Prophet (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for him and said: “Would
that
he had died somewhere other than his birthplace.” A man among
the
people said: “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “If a
man dies
somewhere other than his birthplace, a space will be
measured for him
in Paradise (as big as the distance) from the place
where he was born
to the place where he died.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 6, Hadith 182
