Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2055 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If I were
نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ الْأَدَمِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا ، وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ . كذا في طبعة دار الحرمين ، ولعل الصواب : ( معلى ) كما في شرح مشكل الآثار
It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to take (anyone) as my khalil (intimate friend), I would certainly have taken Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as my khalil; but the brotherhood of Islam is the most excellent."
In the printed edition of Dar al-Haramayn it is like this (the name Ali), and the correct name is probably Mu'alla, as in "Sharh Mushkil al-Athar".
