Hasan bin Hadiyah says: I met Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and he asked: Where are you from? I said: From the people of Oman. He said: From the people of Oman? I said: Yes! He said: Shall I tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: Certainly! He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "I know a land called Oman, with the sea on both its sides; coming to Hajj from there is better than two Hajj pilgrimages from other places."
