حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى 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 الْحَمْرَاءِ ، قَالَ لَهُ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ وَاقِفٌ بِالْحَزْوَرَةِ ، يَقُولُ : " وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكِ لَخَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ إِلَيَّ ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْكِ مَا خَرَجْتُ " .
´Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Adiy bin Hamra’ said to him:` “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.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Makkah Mukarramah is the most virtuous city in the world.
➋ Makkah Mukarramah is even more virtuous than Madinah Munawwarah because the Sacred House of Allah (Baytullah) is located there, which is a place superior to the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid Nabawi).
➌ One should have love for sacred places.
➍ It is permissible to swear by Allah for emphasis, even if the listener does not doubt the truthfulness of the statement. However, swearing oaths unnecessarily in every matter is disliked (makruh).
