[186] Cf. 28: 57. Jābir Ibn ʿAbdillah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Ibrāhīm sanctified Makkah and prayed for it and I sanctified Madinah as much as Ibrāhīm sanctified Makkah, and I prayed for it ˹a blessing in its produce measuring instruments of ˺ mudd and ṣāʿ twice as much as Ibrāhīm asked for Makkah”. (al-Bukhārī: 2129)
