Hadith 10846

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ {عَائِشَةُ} قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمِنَ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ {أَبُوهَا} قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ {عُمَرُ} قَالَ فَعَدَّ رِجَالًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed me as the commander over the army sent towards Dhat al-Salasil. I came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who among the people is most beloved to you? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha. I asked: And among the men? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Her father (i.e., Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him). I asked: And after him? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Umar. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the names of other men.
