It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: A man died in Al-Madinah, and he was one of those who were born in AIMadinah.
The Prophet P.B.U.H offered the funeral prayer for him and said: "Would that he had died somewhere other than his birthplace." A man among the people said: "Why, 0 Messenger of Allah?" He said: "If a man dies somewhere other than his birthplace, a space will be measured for him in Paradise (as big as the distance) from the place where he was born to the place where he died." (Hasan)
