Hajj- Virtue of Patience in Madinah Munawwarah

Hajj- Virtue of Patience in Madinah Munawwarah

Once, while Madinah Munawwarah was under attack in the battle of Harrah and the city was surrounded by the enemy, the people of Madinah Munawwarah experienced great difficulty. A man came to Hadhrat Abu Sa’eed Khudhri Radiyallahu ‘Anhu complaining of hardship, difficulty and seeking advice about moving out of Madinah Munawwarah.

Hadhrat Abu Sa’eed Khudhri Radiyallahu ‘Anhu replied: “Never! I shall never give you such advice for I have personally heard Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam saying; ‘Whoever bears patiently the trials and hardships of Madinah Munawwarah, and suffers patiently the pangs of hunger, for him I shall be an intercessor on the day of Qiyaamah.’” (Muslim)
