Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَكِيمٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ عِضَاهُهَا أَوْ يُقْتَلَ صَيْدُهَا وَقَالَ الْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلَّا أَبْدَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَثْبُتُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى لَأْوَائِهَا وَجَهْدِهَا إِلَّا كُنْتُ لَهُ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'I declare sacred what is between the two lava fields of Madinah — its thorny trees are not to be cut and its game is not to be killed. Madinah is better for them if they only knew. No one leaves it out of dislike for it except that Allah will replace him with someone better. And no one remains patient through its hardship and difficulty except that I will be an intercessor or a witness for him on the Day of Resurrection.'
