Whilst departing from behind the Ka‘bah, the Holy Prophet (sa) turned his blessed countenance towards Mecca and addressed the city with the following words:
“O Mecca, by God, from all of Allah’s lands you indeed are the dearest to me and most beloved to Allah as well and if your people did not force me out, I would never have left.”
(Muhammad (sa) Rasulullahi Walladhina Ma‘ahu, Abdul Hameed, Vol. 3, p. 59, Baab Al-Hijrat, Egypt)
