الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ - عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الطَّائِيُّ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ نَاسًا كَانُوا بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثًا، فِيهِ: فَأَتَوُا الْمَدِينَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى اخْتَارَ لِنَبِيِّهِ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَهِيَ أَقَلُّ الْأَرْضِ طَعَامًا، وَأَمْلَحُهُ مَاءً، إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ هَذَا التَّمْرِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا الدَّجَّالُ وَلَا الطَّاعُونُ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى

✧ There were people in Kufah, and he mentioned a hadith, in which: They came to Madinah, and 'Umar ؓ said: "Indeed Allah, exalted is He, chose for His Prophet Madinah, and it is the least of the earth in food and the saltiest in water, except for this date, for the Dajjal will not enter it nor the plague, if Allah, exalted is He, wills."
