أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَصَابَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَعَكٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَجَاءَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا وَيَنْصَعُ طِيبُهَا»

✧ A bedouin pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon Islam, then the bedouin fell ill with a fever in Madinah. The bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, release me from my pledge." He refused. Then he came to him again and said, "Release me from my pledge." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ refused. The bedouin left, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Madinah is like a bellows: it expels its impurities and its goodness shines forth."
