Kesucian Madinah yang tidak boleh dicemari juga dinyatakan dalam Sahih Muslim melalui lisan Rafi' bin Khadij:

The inviolable sanctity of Al-Madinah also came stated in Sahih Muslim upon the lips of Rafi’ bin Khadij:

“Abdullah bin Maslamah meriwayatkan daripada Sulaiman bin Bilal, daripada ‘Utbah bin Muslim, daripada Nafi‘ bin Jubair yang melaporkan bahawa Marwan bin al-Hakam berucap kepada orang ramai dan menyebut tentang Makkah, penduduknya dan kesuciannya, tetapi dia tidak menyebut tentang Al-Madinah, penduduknya dan kesuciannya. Rafi‘ bin Khadij memanggilnya dan berkata: “Apakah ini? Saya dengar engkau menyebut tentang Makkah, penduduknya dan kesuciannya, tetapi engkau tidak menyebut tentang Al-Madinah, penduduknya dan kesuciannya. Padahal Rasulullah ﷺ telah mengisytiharkan suci (kawasan) antara dua kawasan pergunungannya? Dan kami mempunyai (catatan) itu bersama kami, ditulis di atas kulit khawlani. Jika engkau mahu, saya akan membacakannya untuk engkau.” Maka Marwan terdiam, lalu berkata: “Saya juga ada mendengar sebahagian daripadanya.”

“Abdullah bin Maslamah related from Sulaiman bin Bilal, from ‘Utbah bin Muslim, from Nafi' bin Jubair who reported that Marwan bin al- Hakam addressed the people and made mention of Makkah, its inhabitants and its sacredness, but he made no mention of Al- Madinah, its inhabitants and its sacredness. Rafi' bin Khadij called out to him and said: “What is this? I hear you making mention of Makkah, its inhabitants and its sacredness, but you not mentioning Al- Madinah, its inhabitants and its sacredness. That is while the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has declared sacred (the area) between its two mountainous areas? And we have it (recorded) with us written on Khawlani parchment. If you like, I will read it out to you”. Thereupon Marwan became silent, and then said: “I too have heard some part of it”. .

Mungkin sahaja bahawa lembaran Khawlani itu mengandungi salinan Sahifah Madinah yang telah disebutkan sebelum ini. Ini sangat munasabah kerana dokumen penting seperti ini dijangka mempunyai banyak salinan: Salinan asal yang disimpan oleh Nabi ﷺ dan kemudiannya berada dalam milik ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (semoga Allah meredainya). Kemudian beberapa salinan berada di tangan sebahagian kaum Ansar dan dalam milik orang Yahudi dan lain-lain.

I say: It may be that the Khawlani parchment had within it a copy of the previously mentioned Sahifah of Al-Madinah. This is very conceivable as an important document such as this would be expected to have numerous copies: The original copy kept by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and thereafter came to be in the possession of ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Then some copies in the hands of some of the Ansar and in the possession of the Jews etc.

Tanah suci (Hurmah) Madinah yang tidak boleh diganggu ialah perkara yang tetap dan thabit melalui pelbagai jalur periwayatan, yang mencapai taraf mutawatir (diriwayatkan secara pasti). Memadailah kami sebutkan yang berikut:

The inviolable sanctuary (Hurmah) of Al-Madinah is a firmly established Mutawatir (decisively reported) matter from various paths. We will suffice by mentioning the following:

- Imam Al-Bukhari meriwayatkan yang berikut dalam Sahih-nya (2/661/1768):

- Imam Al-Bukhari recorded the following in his Sahih (2/661/1768):

Abu An-Nu’man meriwayatkan daripada Thabit bin Yazid, daripada ‘Asim bin Abdur Rahman Al-Ahwal, daripada Anas bin Malik bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda: “Madinah adalah tanah haram dari tempat ini hingga ke tempat itu. Pohon-pohonnya tidak boleh ditebang dan tiada kejahatan boleh dilakukan di dalamnya, dan sesiapa yang melakukan kejahatan di dalamnya, maka dia akan menanggung laknat Allah, para malaikat dan seluruh manusia.”

“Abu An-Nu’man related from Thabit bin Yazid, from ‘Asim bin Abdur Rahman Al-Ahwal, from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Madinah is an inviolable sanctuary from this place to that place. Its trees should not be cut and no crime should be perpetrated in it and whoever perpetrates a crime in it, then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people”.

- Sebagaimana yang disebutkan dalam "As-Sunan Al-Kubra" karya Al-Baihaqi, yang diriwayatkan oleh Sa'id Al-Kudhri:

- Just as it came exemplified in “As-Sunan Al-Kubra” of Al-Baihaqi as related by Sa’id Al-Kudhri:

Hammad bin Isma’il bin Ibrahim meriwayatkan daripada Ubayy, daripada Wuhaib, daripada Yahya bin Abu Ishaq, daripada Abu Sa’id, mawla Al-Mahri, bahawa Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri berkata: “Kami keluar bersama Rasulullah ﷺ, lalu baginda bersabda: “Ya Allah, sesungguhnya Ibrahim telah mengisytiharkan Makkah sebagai tanah haram yang suci dan menjadikannya tanah suci yang terlindung, dan aku mengisytiharkan Al-Madinah sebagai tanah suci yang terlindung; apa yang terletak di antara dua gunung (iaitu ‘Air dan Uhud). Tidak boleh ditumpahkan darah di dalamnya, tidak boleh dibawa senjata untuk berperang di dalamnya, dan tiada pokok yang boleh dipotong kecuali untuk tujuan makanan ternakan (iaitu untuk memberi makan haiwan). Ya Allah, berkatilah kami di Madinah kami ini. Ya Allah, jadikanlah bersama keberkatan ini dua keberkatan tambahan.” Demi Dia yang jiwaku berada di tangan-Nya, tidak ada lembah atau jalan gunung di Al-Madinah melainkan terdapat dua malaikat yang berdiri mengawalnya.”

“Hammad bin Isma’il bin Ibrahim related from Ubayy, from Wuhaib, from Yahya bin Abu Ishaq, from Abu Sa’id the Mawla of Al-Mahri that Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri said: “We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and he said: “O Allah, verily Ibrahim declared Makkah to be sacredly inviolable and made it an inviolable sanctuary and I have declared Al-Madinah to be an inviolable sanctuary; what lies between the two mountains (i.e. of ‘Aer and Uhud). That no blood be shed in it, no weapons for fighting carried in it and no tree will be struck except for the purpose of fodder (i.e. to feed animals). O Allah, bless us in this Madinah of ours. O Allah make alongside this blessing two (additional blessings). And by the one in whose hand is my soul, there is no ravine or mountain path of Al-Madinah except that there are two angels standing guard over them”.

Isnad ini adalah Sahih menurut syarat Muslim.

I say: This Isnad (chain of transmission) is Sahih upon the conditionality of Muslim.
