Death in Medina
Irshad Soofi
19-Aug-2016
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his father:
عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ
اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي شَهَادَةً فِي سَبِيلِكَ، وَاجْعَلْ مَوْتِي فِي بَلَدِ رَسُولِكَ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Reference
Sahih al-Bukhari
Hazrath Umar t prayed,
O Allah! Grant me martyrdom in Your cause, and let my death be in the city of Your Messenger (peace on him) .”
The short answer is, yes, it is praiseworthy to ask Allah for a death in the city of His Final Messenger Muhammad (peace on him), the illumined Madinah.
