Sahih al-Bukhari 1883

Translation

A bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and gave a pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam. The next day he came with fever and said (to the Prophet ﷺ ), "Please cancel my pledge (of embracing Islam and of emigrating to Medina)." The Prophet ﷺ refused (that request) three times and said, "Medina is like a furnace, it expels out the impurities (bad persons) and selects the good ones and makes them perfect."
