1 It is the dearest of the places to Allah and his Messenger.
'Abdallah bin ‘Adi bin Hamra’ ( May Allah be pleased with him ) said he saw the Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him )
standing at al-Hazwara (Taj al-'Arus gives two statements about this place, one saying it was a place at the gate of the wheat sellers, the other saying it was the market of Mecca which was later incorporated in the mosque when it was enlarged) and saying, “I swear by Allah that you are the best part of the earth of Allah and the part dearest to Him. Had I not been expelled from you I would not have gone out.”
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
