Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12171 — The Fourth Chapter Regarding His Merits
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”أَلَا إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ مِنْ خُلَّتِهِ وَلَوِ اتَّخَذْتُ خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Beware! I disassociate myself from the intimacy and deep friendship of every close friend. If I were to take anyone as a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr. Indeed, this companion of yours is the friend of Allah Almighty.
