Sahih Muslim 1360a (Book 15, Hadith 517) #10452
Declaring Sacredness of Medina

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared Medina to be sacred and prayed for its inhabitants, just as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had done for the inhabitants of Mecca.

'Abdullah b. Zaid b. 'Asim (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Verily Ibrahim declared Mecca sacred and supplicated (for blessings to be showered) upon its inhabitants, and I declare Medina to be sacred as Ibrahim had declared Mecca to be sacred. I have supplicated (Allah for His blessings to be showered) in its sa' and its mudd (two standards of weight and measurement) twice as did Ibrahim for the inhabitants of Mecca.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ - عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ وَدَعَا لأَهْلِهَا وَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَكَّةَ وَإِنِّي دَعَوْتُ فِي صَاعِهَا وَمُدِّهَا بِمِثْلَىْ مَا دَعَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ declared the city of Medina to be sacred, just as Ibrahim ﷺ had done for the city of Mecca centuries before. He also prayed that Allah would shower blessings on its inhabitants, twice as much as he did for those in Mecca. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to make our cities and communities better places by praying for their well-being and prosperity. It also reminds us that we should never forget about those who have come before us and all they have done to make our lives better today. We can learn from their example and strive to do even more than they did in order to improve our own societies and communities.
