“For the believer, Madina is the best place.

If only they could understand its virtue fully, they would never leave it, and whoever departs from Madina, having become disenchanted with it, Allah will send someone better to replace him.

And whoever bears patiently the ordeals of Madina, for him shall I be an intercessor (or witness) on Day of Judgment. ”

(Muslim)

Madina is Immune to Dajjal:

“There will be no town which Ad-Dajjal will not enter except Makkah and Madina, and there will be no entrance but the angels will be standing in rows guarding it against him, and then Madina will shake with its inhabitants thrice and Allah will expel all the nonbelievers and the hypocrites from it.”

(Bukhari)
