The answer

Diverse hadiths have been narrated concerning Egypt, some of which are authentic, while others are weak or fabricated. Among the authentic hadiths are: the recommendation to treat its people well and show them mercy; that they will be a support for Muslims; that Egypt will withhold its tribute (kharaj) at the end of time; and that the Nile is one of the rivers of Paradise. As for the weak and fabricated hadiths, they include: Giza being a garden from the gardens of Paradise; Egypt being the quiver (kinanah) of Allah; its soldiers being the best soldiers on earth; the blessing of Banha honey; the story of throwing a card into the Nile; and Egypt being the purest land in terms of soil and the noblest of non-Arabs in lineage.
