In this regard, we only know the of Abdullah ibn Amr: "Oh, would that he had died away from his birthplace." He was asked, "Why is that, Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Indeed, when a man dies away from his birthplace, a measure from his birthplace to the end of his trace in Paradise is granted to him." Narrated by An-Nasa'i and graded as by Al-Albani.
Ibn Abi Hatim narrated from Qatadah regarding the verse: (And they do not cross a valley except that it is written for them) that he said: "No people increase in distance from their families in the way of Allah except that they increase in closeness to Allah."
