Hadith 34092
٣٤٠٩٢ - حدثنا ابن علية عن أيوب عن عكرمة قال: قال ابن عباس: في (الجد) (١) (أما) (٢) الذي قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "لو كنت متخذًا من هذه الأمة خليلًا، لاتخذته" (٣).
Hazrat Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said regarding the grandfather: That is the person about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I were to take a friend from this Ummah, I would take Abu Bakr as a friend. Thus, Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a verdict concerning the right of the father.
