مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5249 — the Prophet ﷺ said: If I were to take anyone
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخِي وَصَاحِبِي ، وَقَدِ اتَّخَذَ اللهُ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to take anyone as my intimate friend (khalil), I would take Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as my intimate friend; but he is my brother and my companion, and Allah Almighty has indeed taken this companion of yours (that is, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself) as His khalil."
