It was narrated that Fatimah bint Qais said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he never used to ascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people were alarmed by that, and some were standing and some were sitting. He gestured to them with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:) 'By Allah, I am not standing here for something that will benefit you, an exhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me and told me something that prevented me from taking a rest because of the joy and delight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you. A cousin of Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an island that they did not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the ship and set out. There they saw something black, with long eyelashes. They said to it: "What are you?" It said: "I am Jassasah," They said: "Tell us." It said: "I will not tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather there is this monastery that you have looked at. Go to it, for there is a man there who is longing to hear your news and tell you news." So they went there and entered upon him, and they saw an old man firmly shackled, with a sorrowful appearance and complaining a great deal. He said to them: "Where have you come from?" They said: "From Sham." He said: "How are the Arabs faring?" They said: "We are from among the Arabs. What do you want to ask about?" He said: "What has this man done who has appeared among you?" They said: "(He has done) well. He made enemies of some people, but Allah supported him against them and now they have become one, with one God and one religion." He said: "What happened to the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It is good; we irrigate out crops from it and drink from it." He said: "What happened to the date-palms between 'Amman and Baisan?" They said: "They bear fruit every year." He said: "What happened to the Lake of Tiberias?" They said: "It overflows because of the abundance of water." He gave three deep sighs, then he said: "If I were to free myself from these chains, I would not leave any land without entering it on these two feet of mine, except for Taibah, for I have no way to enter it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'My joy is so great. This (Al-Madinah) is Taibah, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no narrow or broad road in it, or any plain or mountain, but there is an angel (standing) over it with his sword unsheathed, until the Day of Resurrection

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا اسماعيل بن ابي خالد، عن مجالد، عن الشعبي، عن فاطمة بنت قيس، قالت صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم وصعد المنبر وكان لا يصعد عليه قبل ذلك الا يوم الجمعة فاشتد ذلك على الناس فمن بين قايم وجالس فاشار اليهم بيده ان اقعدوا " فاني والله ما قمت مقامي هذا لامر ينفعكم لرغبة ولا لرهبة ولكن تميما الداري اتاني فاخبرني خبرا منعني القيلولة من الفرح وقرة العين فاحببت ان انشر عليكم فرح نبيكم الا ان ابن عم لتميم الداري اخبرني ان الريح الجاتهم الى جزيرة لا يعرفونها فقعدوا في قوارب السفينة فخرجوا فيها فاذا هم بشىء اهدب اسود قالوا له ما انت قال انا الجساسة . قالوا اخبرينا . قالت ما انا بمخبرتكم شييا ولا سايلتكم ولكن هذا الدير قد رمقتموه فاتوه فان فيه رجلا بالاشواق الى ان تخبروه ويخبركم فاتوه فدخلوا عليه فاذا هم بشيخ موثق شديد الوثاق يظهر الحزن شديد التشكي فقال لهم من اين قالوا من الشام . قال ما فعلت العرب قالوا نحن قوم من العرب عم تسال قال ما فعل هذا الرجل الذي خرج فيكم قالوا خيرا ناوى قوما فاظهره الله عليهم فامرهم اليوم جميع الههم واحد ودينهم واحد قال ما فعلت عين زغر قالوا خيرا يسقون منها زروعهم ويستقون منها لسقيهم قال فما فعل نخل بين عمان وبيسان قالوا يطعم ثمره كل عام . قال فما فعلت بحيرة الطبرية قالوا تدفق جنباتها من كثرة الماء . قال فزفر ثلاث زفرات ثم قال لو انفلت من وثاقي هذا لم ادع ارضا الا وطيتها برجلى هاتين الا طيبة ليس لي عليها سبيل " . قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " الى هذا ينتهي فرحي هذه طيبة والذي نفسي بيده ما فيها طريق ضيق ولا واسع ولا سهل ولا جبل الا وعليه ملك شاهر سيفه الى يوم القيامة
