Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who is the most beloved to you among the people?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Among the men, who is it?" He said, "Her father, Abu Bakr." I asked, "Then who?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then Umar bin Khattab." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned some other people.
