It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me for the expedition of Dhat al-Salasil. When I returned from it, I presented myself before him and said: O Messenger of Allah! Among the people, whom do you love the most? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha. I asked: And among the men? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Her father. I asked: Then who? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Umar. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the names of a few more men.
