“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 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.’” *A place in Makkah. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3108)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِالْحَزْوَرَةِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُ لِمَكَّةَ وَاللهِ إِنَّكِ لَأَخْيَرُ أَرْضِ اللهِ وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللهِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْكِ مَا خَرَجْتُ
