Musnad Ahmad 660:1

Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, Shu'ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri, Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman informed us, that 'Abd Allah ibn 'Adi ibn al-Hamra' al-Zuhri informed him that he heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was standing at al-Hazwarah in the market of Makkah: "By Allah, you are the best of Allah's earth and the most beloved of Allah's earth to Allah, the Almighty and Majestic. And were it not that I was driven out of you, I would not have left."
