Hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 16120 — Hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا سِوَى اللَّهِ حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ 63 " جَعَلَ الْجَدَّ أَبًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once said regarding that person: If I were to take a close friend (khalil) from this Ummah other than my Lord, I would have taken Ibn Abi Quhafa as my close friend. They have considered the grandfather as the father.
