Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ فِي سُوقِ الْحَزْوَرَةِ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكِ لَخَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ وَأَحَبُّ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْكِ مَا خَرَجْتُ.
English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Khalid told us: Rabah told us, from Ma'mar, from Muhammad ibn Muslim ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from one of them, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said while in the market of al-Hazwarah: By Allah, you are the best of Allah's lands and the most beloved of lands to Allah, and had I not been driven out of you, I would not have left.
