Hadith 34126
٣٤١٢٦ - حدثنا أبو أسامة قال: أخبرنا إسماعيل عن قيس قال: قال (عمرو: وأي) (١) الناس أحب إليك يا رسول اللَّه؟ قال: " (لم) (٢) "؟ قال: (لنحب) (٣) من تحب، قال: "أحب الناس إليّ عائشة"، قال: لست أسألك عن النساء، إنما أسألك ⦗١٧⦘ عن الرجال فقال (مرة: "أبوها"، وقال مرة: "أبو بكر") (٤) (٥).
Hazrat Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Who is the most beloved to you among the people? The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: Why? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So that we may also love the one whom you love. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Among the people, the most beloved to me is "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)." He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am not asking you about women, but I am asking about the men among them. So the Prophet (ﷺ) replied once: Her father, and once said: "Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)."
