Al-Madeenah Al-Munawwarah or An-Nabawiyyah

Postby Shehzad Sattar » Mon Dec 19, 2016 9:53 pm

Shaykh ‘Abdul-Baree said that he heard his father, the Muhaddith of Madeenah, Al-‘Allaamah Hammaad bin Muhammad Al-Ansaaree[1] may Allah have mercy upon him saying:

I investigated the reason why people refer to Al-Madeenah as Al-Madeenah Al-Munawwarah, i.e. [The illuminated city] in this period of time. I discovered that the very first ones that referred to ‘Al-Madeenah’ as ‘Al-Madeenah Al-Munawwarah’ were the Ottomans [2] .

However, the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah be pleased with them all, their successors & those who came after them for many centuries would say Al-Madeenah An-Nabawiyyah, i.e. [The Prophetic city].

Reference: ‘Almajmoo’ the biography of Al-‘Allaamah Hammaad bin Muhammad Al-Ansaaree, Volume 2, page 548, saying no: 434

((المدينة ((المنورة)) أو ((النبوية))

المرجع: المجموع في ترجمة الشيخ حمّاد بن محمد الأنصاري /الجزء الثاني/الصفحة 548/ القول:434

وقال شيخ عبد الباري في المجموع : سمعتُ والدي (علامة حمّاد بن محمد الأنصاري رحمه الله) يقول: بحثت عن أصل قول الناس في هذا الزمان عن المدينة ((المنورة)) ووجدت أن أول من أطلق عليها المنورة العثمانيون أما الصحابة والتابعون ومن بعدهم بقرون كثيرة فإنهم يقولون عنها المدينة النبوية.
The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people..”
