3925. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Adī bin Ḥamrā’ [Az-Zuhri] said: “I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ standing at Al-Ḥazwarah, and he said: “By Allāh! You are the best of Allāh’s earth, and the most beloved of Allāh’s earth to Allāh, and if it were not that I was expelled from you I would not have left.” (Šaḥīh)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharib Šaḥīh. And Yūnus reported it similarly from Az-Zuhri. Muḥammad bin ‘Amr reported it from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. And to me, the narration of Az-Zuhri from Abū Salamah, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Adī
bin Ḥamrā' is more correct.

Commentary
Al-Hazwarah is a locality of Makkah. On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah the Prophet ﷺ addressing the Ka'ba and the Haram said these words. It shows that Makkah because of the House of Allāh ﷻ in it is the most honorable and superior place on the earth. All scholars of Islam agree to this point of view. This narration also suggests that one who gets a chance to reside in Makkah, should not leave it without a genuine cause.
