Muwatta' Malik 45-4

Translation

Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir from Jabir ibn Abdullah that a Bedouin took an oath of allegiance in Islam with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A fever befell the Bedouin at Madina. He came to the Messenger of Allah, and said, "Messenger of Allah, release me from my pledge." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ refused. Then he came to him again and said, "Release me from my pledge." The Messenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace, refused. Then he came again and said, "Release me from my pledge." He refused. Then he came again and said, "Release me from my pledge." He refused. The Bedouin left and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Madina is like the blacksmith's furnace. It removes the impurities and purifies the good."

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  رواه جماعة الرواة عن مالك فيما علمت بهذا اللفظ إلا عبد الله بن إدريس فإنه قال فيه عن مالك بإسناده إنها طيبة تنفي الخبث وقوله في الحديث طيبة غريب لم يقله فيه غيره

  machine translationA group of narrators transmitted it from Mālik, as far as I know, with this wording, except ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs, for he said in it, from Mālik with his chain of transmission: "It is Ṭayyibah; it expels impurity." His wording in the hadith, "Ṭayyibah," is unusual (gharīb); no one else said it in it.
