In one narration the words are: "He is the most beloved of all people to me." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: Except for Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), whose case is different.
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: This narration is reported in the Sahih in abridged form. Imam Abu Ya'la recorded this narration, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
