(Book 45, Hadith 9) #36658
Sadness of Leaving Madina

SUMMARY: Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz was sad to leave Madina and asked Muzahim if they would be among those that Madina casts off.

Malik related to me that he had heard that when Umar ibn Abd al- Aziz left Madina, he turned towards it and wept. Then he said, "O Muzahim! Do you fear that we might be among those that Madina casts off?"
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حِينَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهَا فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُزَاحِمُ أَتَخْشَى أَنْ نَكُونَ مِمَّنْ نَفَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ

Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz was a great leader and scholar in the Islamic community. He had a deep love for the city of Madina, so much so that when he had to leave it, he wept out of sadness. He asked his companion Muzahim if they would be among those who were cast off by the city, showing his fear that their good deeds may not have been enough to stay in its favor. This hadith teaches us about the importance of loving our home and being loyal to it, as well as having faith in Allah's mercy even when we are afraid. It also shows us how important it is to show gratitude for all that our home has given us before leaving it behind.
