Sahih al-Bukhari 4084 (Book 64, Hadith 128) #3903
Declaring Medina a Sanctuary

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared the area between two mountains in Medina a sanctuary, similar to how Abraham declared Mecca a sanctuary.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: When the mountain of Uhud appeared before Allah's Messenger he said, "This IS a mountain that loves us and is loved by us. O, Allah! Abraham made Mecca a Sanctuary, and I have made Medina (ie the area between its two mountains) a Sanctuary as well".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ طَلَعَ لَهُ أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا
