أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ الصُّمَيْتَةَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهَا تُحَدِّثُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
«مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَمُتْ بِهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَمُتْ بِهَا تَشْفَعْ لَهُ وَتَشْهَدُ لَهُ»
