Al-Bazzar recorded from Sayyiduna Jubayr (may Allah be pleased with him): A man asked, "Which part of the lands is most beloved to Allah Almighty, and which part of the lands is most hateful to Allah Almighty?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I do not know; I will ask Jibril about it." When Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) came to him, he told him that the most beloved places to Allah Almighty are the mosques, and the most hateful places to Allah Almighty are the markets. The narrators of Ahmad, Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil; he is hasan al-hadith (fair in hadith), and there is some criticism of him.
