Sahih al-Bukhari 5463 (Book 75, Hadith 37)
said, “O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?” Whenever Abu Bakr got the fever he used
to say, “Everybody is staying alive with his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces.”
And when fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic verses): “Would that I could stay
overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling
grass). Would that one day I could drink of the water of Majinna, and would that Shama and Tafil
(two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me!” I went to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him about
that. He said, “O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca, and make it
healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its fever and put it in Al-Juhfa.” (See Hadith No
558) .
“ اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّنَا مَكَّةَ أَوْ أَشَدَّ وَصَحِّحْهَا وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِهَا وَمُدِّهَا وَانْقُلْ حُمَّاهَا فَاجْعَلْهَا بِالْجُحْفَةِ ”.
