Al-Madeenah is a blessed land, purified by Allah, Exalted is He, from evils and impurities, and chosen to be the land to which His Prophet ﷺ migrated, the cradle of the call of Islam, and the cornerstone of the early Muslim state. It this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ informed us that Allah, Exalted is He, defends Al-Madeenah and its righteous believers residing therein. One manifestation of such divine protection is that none conspires against the people of Al-Madeenah, and hatches evil plots against them openly or covertly, except that Allah, Exalted is He,will destroy him and remove him from existence, as fast as salt dissolves in water. Whoever tries to plot against them, Allah, Exalted is He, does not give him a respite to an appointed term, but rather hinders his plots and destroys him, like what happened with those who fought against it in the past. It could also mean that whoever tried to harm its people during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, were degraded and faded into oblivion. Moreover, it could also be a reference to their torment in the Hereafter, as the Prophet ﷺ said: “None should nurse ill-will towards the people of Al-Madeenah except that Allah will melt him in Hellfire like the melting of lead or the dissolution of salt in water.” [Muslim]. In this hadeeth, he ﷺ stated that their punishment shall be in the Hellfire. This hadeeth also includes stern warnings against those who plot against the people of Al-Madeenah or seek to do them any harm..
