باب قَوْلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ في الْجَدِّ:Chapter on Abu Bakr's opinion regarding the grandfather
Hadith 2944
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: جَعَلَهُ الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا أَحَدًا خَلِيلًا، لَاتَّخَذْتُهُ خَلِيلًا، وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ، يَعْنِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَعَلَهُ أَبًا، يَعْنِي: الْجَدَّ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Regarding whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If I were to take anyone as a close friend (khalil), I would have taken him (i.e., Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him) as a close friend, but Islamic brotherhood is superior." He said: Grandfather is like a father.
