Musnad Abi Ya'la 6805 — I was present in the gathering of Sayyiduna
مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، عَنِ الْفُرَاتِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى قَضَاءِ الْكُوفَةِ ، إِذْ جَاءَهُ كِتَابُ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ : سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْجَدِّ ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَلِيلًا مِنْ دُونِ رَبِّي ، لَاتَّخَذْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخِي فِي الدِّينِ ، وَصَاحِبِي فِي الْغَارِ . وَجَعَلَ الْجَدَّ أَبًا ، فَأَحَقُّ مَنْ أَخَذْنَا بِهِ قَوْلُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ .

Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was present in the gathering of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Utbah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), whom Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) had appointed as judge of Kufah, when a letter from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) reached him, in which was written: "Peace be upon you. To proceed: you were asking me about the grandfather (and his share of inheritance), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'If I were to take from this Ummah an intimate friend (khalil) other than my Lord, I would have taken Ibn Abi Quhafah (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)), but he is my brother in religion and my companion in the cave (of Thawr).' And he (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)) placed the grandfather in the position of the father in inheritance; so the view of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) is the most deserving view for us to adopt."
