Muwatta Malik #1730
Madina
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ حِمَاسٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَتُتْرَكَنَّ الْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى أَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَتْ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْكَلْبُ أَوِ الذِّئْبُ فَيُغَذِّي عَلَى بَعْضِ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ " . فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلِمَنْ تَكُونُ الثِّمَارُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ قَالَ " لِلْعَوَافِي الطَّيْرِ وَالسِّبَاعِ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Himas from his paternal
uncle from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Madina will be left in the best way
that it is until a dog or wolf enters it and urinates on one of the
pillars of the mosque or on the mimbar." They asked, "Messenger of
Allah! Who will have the fruit at that time?" He replied, "Animals
seeking food, birds and wild beasts."
