Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34092 — Reports on Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning the grandfather (jadd): He is the one about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to take anyone from this Ummah as a friend, I would take Abu Bakr." So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his ruling in favour of the father.
