It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Makkah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah, I am leaving you, though I know well that of all the lands of Allah's earth you are the most beloved to me and the most honoured in the sight of Allah; and had your people not forced me to leave, I would never have left. O Banu Abd Manaf, if you become responsible for this matter (the custodianship of the Sanctuary) after me, then never prevent anyone performing tawaf of the House of Allah at any hour of the night or day. And were it not feared that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would surely tell them how great a reward they have with Allah. 'Allahumma innaka adhaqta awwalahum wabalan fa-adhiq akhirahum nawalan' (O Allah, You made the first of them taste ruin, so make the last of them taste Your bounty and favours)."
