حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْخِرِّيتِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ هَادِيَةَ قَالَ لَقِيتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فَقَالَ لِي مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ عُمَانَ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ عُمَانَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا عُمَانُ يَنْضَحُ بِجَانِبِهَا وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بِنَاحِيَتِهَا الْبَحْرُ الْحَجَّةُ مِنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ حَجَّتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4853
It was narrated that al-Hasan ibn Haadiyah said: I met Ibn 'Umar, who said: Where are you from? I said: I am from Oman. He said: From Oman? I said: Yes. He said: Shall I not narrate to you what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)? I said: Yes indeed. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: I know a land called Oman; it is beside the sea - or beside it is the sea - performing Hajj from there better than performing Hajj from anywhere else.”
