'Asim reported:

I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) had declared Medina as sacred. He said: Yes. (the area) between so and so. He who made any innovation in it, and further said to me: It is something serious to make any innovation in it (and he who does it) there is upon him the curse of Allah, and that of the angels and of all the people, Allah will not accept from him on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts or the supererogatory acts.

1040 - Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Sufyan, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim al-Taymi, from his father, from Ali (r), who said: "We have nothing except the Book of Allah, the Exalted, and this parchment from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." Al-Madinah is sacred (haram) from between Ai'r and Thur. Whoever brings about an innovation (bida) in it or shelters an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of humanity; neither an obligation (adl) nor a compensation (sarf) will be accepted from him." And he said: "The covenant of the Muslims is one, so whoever betrays a Muslim, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of humanity; neither a compensation nor an obligation will be accepted from him." And whoever leads a people without the permission of their guardians, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of humanity; Allah will not accept from him any compensation or obligation.
