Nabi’s (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) desire to be buried in Madinah Munawwarah

Is this Hadith authentic?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“…There is no piece of land in this entire world more beloved to me that I be buried in [than Madinah Munawwarah]”

Answer

Imam Malik (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration mursalan (a chain with an omission after the Tabi’i).

(Muwatta Imam Malik, Hadith: 1330)

The Hadith is suitable to quote.

(Refer: At Tamhid, vol. 10 pg. 148)

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.
