Musnad Ahmad 660:4

Ibrahim ibn Khalid narrated to us, Rabah narrated to us, from Ma'mar, from Muhammad ibn Muslim ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from some of them, that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said while he was at the market of al-Hazwarah: "By Allah, you are the best of Allah's earth, and the most beloved of the earth to Allah. And had I not been driven out of you, I would not have left."
