Madinah

Madinah           

 

It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighborhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]  and  to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy, but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn

(9:120)
