Hadith 6275

`Abdallah b. `Amr b. al-`As told that he heard God's messenger say, "There will be emigration after emigration, and the people who are best will be those who go to the places to which Abraham emigrated." A version has "The best people on the earth are those who cleave most closely to the places to which Abraham emigrated. The worst of its people will remain in the earth, cast out by their lands, abhorred by God, collected along with apes and swine by fire[*] which will spend the night and midday where they are in their company." *This is explained as the fire of civil strife. Cf. Mirqat, v. 652 AbuDawud transmitted it.
