Chapter 17 · The Book of Pilgrimageحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَصَابَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ وَعْكٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي، فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي، فَأَبَى، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَقِلْنِي بَيْعَتِي فَأَبَى، فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ، تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا، وَيَنْصَعُ طَيِّبُهَا».

A desert Arab swore allegiance to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He suffered from a severe fever in Medina (and) so he came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: Muhammad, cancel my oath of allegiance. But Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) refused it. He again came and said: Cancel my oath of allegiance. But he (the Holy Prophet) refused it. He again came to him and said: Cancel my oath of allegiance, but he refused. The desert Arab, however, went away (cancelling the allegiance himself). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Medina is like a furnace which drives away its impurity and purifies what is good.
