Translation

‘Abd Allah ibn Zayd ibn ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Indeed, Abraham declared Mecca sacred and supplicated for its people. I have declared Medina sacred, as Abraham declared Mecca sacred, and I have supplicated for its measures of sa‘ and mudd twice as much as Abraham supplicated for the people of Mecca.’ Agreed upon.

1 — This is Muslim’s wording. Al-Bukhari and another version of Muslim have ‘like’. 2 — Muslim added: ‘thereby’. 3 — Sound. Reported by al-Bukhari (2129) and Muslim (1360); the wording is Muslim’s.
