Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 30
Musnad of Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh al-Anṣārī (may Allāh be pleased with him)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَأَسْلَمَ، فَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ حُمَّ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي، فَقَالَ: «لَا أُقِيلُكَ.» ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي، فَقَالَ: «لَا أُقِيلُكَ.» ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي، فَقَالَ: «لَا.» فَفَرَّ، فَقَالَ: «الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ، تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا وَتَنْصَعُ طَيِّبَهَا.»
Translation
Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported: “A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), accepted Islam, and pledged allegiance to him to migrate [to Medina]. He had not waited long before he was struck by fever. He came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘Release me [from my pledge].’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I will not release you.’ He came again and said: ‘Release me.’ He said: ‘I will not release you.’ He came a third time and said: ‘Release me.’ He said: ‘No.’ The man then fled. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Medina is like a furnace (kīr): it expels its impurities and refines what is good.’” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 30
