Chapter 88: Al-Madinah eliminates its Dross and it is also called Tabah, and Taibah

باب الْمَدِينَةِ تَنْفِي شِرَارَهَا ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 1382 b

This hadith has been narrated by Yabya b. Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are)

" Just as a furance removes impurity," but no mention is made of iron.

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَقَالاَ ‏"‏ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ الْخَبَثَ "‏ ‏.‏ لَمْ يَذْكُرَا الْحَدِيدَ .
