Musnad Ahmad 660:0

Narrated Abdullah ibn Adi ibn al-Hamra al-Zuhri: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) standing on a market place in Mecca, and he said: "By Allah, you are the best of the land of Allah, and you are the most beloved land of Allah to Allah. If it were not that your people drove me out of you, I would not have departed."
