Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي أَشْفَعُ لِمَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا.

Ali ibn Abd Allah told us, Mu'adh ibn Hisham told us, my father told me, from Ayyub, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is able to die in Madinah, let him do so, for I intercede for whoever dies there."
