أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَمْرَاءَ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَاقِفًا بِالْحَزْوَرَةِ يَقُولُ «وَاللهِ إِنَّكِ لَخَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللهِ وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللهِ إِلَى اللهِ وَلَوْلَا أَنِّي أُخْرِجْتُ مِنْكِ مَا خَرَجْتُ»
