حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُقَيْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْحَمْرَائِ قَالَ لَهُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَی نَاقَتِهِ وَاقِفٌ بِالْحَزْوَرَةِ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّکِ لَخَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ إِلَيَّ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْکِ مَا خَرَجْتُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3108
Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur- Rahman bin 'Awf narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Adiy bin Hamra' said to him: "I saw the Messenger of Allah, when he was on his she-camel, standing in Al-Hazwarah saying: 'By Allah, you are the best land of Allah, and the dearest of the land of Allah to me. By Allah, had I not been expelled from you I would never have left."
