Sahih al-Bukhari 3172 (Book 58, Hadith 14) #3031
The Sanctity of Medina and Protection of Asylum

SUMMARY: This hadith emphasizes the importance of following the teachings of Allah and avoiding any innovations or sins in Medina, which is a sanctuary. It also stresses that Muslims should protect each other's asylum and not betray one another.

Narrated Ibrahim at-Tamimi's father: 'Ali delivered a sermon saying, "We have no book to read except the Book of Allah and what is written in this paper which contains verdicts regarding (retaliation for) wounds, the ages of the camels (given as Zakat or as blood money) and the fact that Medina is a sanctuary in between Air mountain to so-and-so (mountain). So, whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin or gives shelter in it, to such an innovator will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And whoever (freed slave) takes as his master (ie befriends) other than his real masters will incur the same (Curse). And the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the same (Curse).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدَنَا كِتَابٌ نَقْرَؤُهُ إِلاَّ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ فَقَالَ فِيهَا الْجِرَاحَاتُ وَأَسْنَانُ الإِبِلِ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْرٍ إِلَى كَذَا، فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهَا حَدَثًا أَوْ آوَى فِيهَا مُحْدِثًا، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلاَ عَدْلٌ، وَمَنْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of following the teachings of Allah and avoiding any innovations or sins in Medina which is a sanctuary. It also stresses that Muslims should protect each other's asylum and not betray one another. The Prophet Ali was delivering a sermon to remind people about this important teaching from Allah. He said that anyone who commits an innovation or sin in Medina will incur the curse from Allah as well as from all people around them; none of their good deeds will be accepted by God either compulsory or optional ones. Furthermore, whoever takes someone else as his master instead his real masters will also incur this curse too. Lastly, it is important for all Muslims to protect each other’s asylum if it has been granted by any Muslim; anyone who betrays another Muslim in this regard will incur this same curse too.
