Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَمُتْ فَإِنِّي أَشْفَعُ لِمَنْ يَمُوتُ بِهَا.

Affan told us: al-Hasan ibn Abi Ja'far told us, from Ayyub, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: Whoever is able to die in Medina, let him do so, for I intercede for whoever dies there.
