Narrated `Aisha:When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got a fever. I entered upon them and asked, "O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever fever attacked Abu Bakr, he would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic lines): '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 would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away its fever and put it in Al Juhfa

حدثنا قتيبة، عن مالك، عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، انها قالت لما قدم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المدينة وعك ابو بكر وبلال رضى الله عنهما قالت فدخلت عليهما قلت يا ابت كيف تجدك ويا بلال كيف تجدك قالت وكان ابو بكر اذا اخذته الحمى يقول كل امري مصبح في اهله والموت ادنى من شراك نعله وكان بلال اذا اقلعت عنه يقول الا ليت شعري هل ابيتن ليلة بواد وحولي اذخر وجليل وهل اردن يوما مياه مجنة وهل تبدون لي شامة وطفيل قالت عايشة فجيت الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبرته فقال " اللهم حبب الينا المدينة كحبنا مكة او اشد، اللهم وصححها، وبارك لنا في مدها وصاعها، وانقل حماها فاجعلها بالجحفة
