عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَيُّ النَّاسِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قُلْتُ فَمِنَ الرِّجَالِ قَالَتْ أَبُوهَا
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Shaqiq, he says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Who was the most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" She said: "Aisha." I asked: "Among the men?" She said: "Her father."
