It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that some companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were sitting and waiting for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came close to them and listened to their conversation. Someone said: It is amazing that Allah Almighty took Ibrahim (peace be upon him) as a friend, and Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is Allah’s Khalil (friend). Another said: Allah speaking to Musa (peace be upon him) is even more amazing than that. One said: And Isa (peace be upon him) was created by Allah Almighty’s word «كُنْ» and his spirit is from Him. Someone said: And Adam (peace be upon him) was chosen by Allah Almighty, He selected him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came before them, greeted them with salam, and said: I heard your conversation and your amazement at Ibrahim being Allah’s Khalil, and so he is. And at Musa being the one who conversed privately (whispered) with Allah, and so he is. And you are amazed at Isa being the Word of Allah and His Spirit, and so he is. And at Adam being the chosen one, and so he is (meaning all of this is true). And listen! I (too) am the beloved of Allah, and I do not boast about it. And I am the one who will carry the banner of praise on the Day of Resurrection, under which will be Adam (peace be upon him) and those after him. I do not boast about it. And I am the first to intercede and the first whose intercession will be accepted, and I do not boast about it. And I will be the first to knock on the chains of the gates of Paradise, and they will be opened for me, and Allah Almighty will admit me into Paradise, and with me will be the poor believers, and I do not boast about it. And I am, in the sight of Allah, the most honored and noble of all the former and latter people, and I do not boast about it.

´Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:` that a group of people from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat waiting for him. He said: "Then he came out, such that when he came close to them, he heard them talking, and he heard what they were saying. So some of them said: 'It's amazing that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has taken a Khalil (close friend) from His creation. He took Ibrahim as a Khalil.' And some of them said: 'That is not more amazing than speaking to Musa, He spoke to him with real speech.' And some said: 'And 'Eisa is the word of Allah and His Spirit.' And some said: 'Adam was chosen by Allah.' So he (ﷺ) came out upon them and said his Salam, and said: 'I have heard your words, and your amazement that Ibrahim is the Khalil of Allah, and he is such, and that Musa is the one spoken to by Allah, and he is such, and that 'Eisa is the spirit of Allah and His Word, and he is such, and that Adam was chosen by Allah, and he is such. Indeed I am the beloved of Allah and I am not boasting, and I am the carrier of the Banner of Praise on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. And I am the first intercessor, and the first to have intercession accepted from him on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. And I am the first to shake the rings of Paradise (meaning on the gates of Paradise) and so Allah will open it for me and admit me into it. And with me will be the poor people from the believers, and I am not boasting. And I am the most noble among the first ones and the last ones, and I am not boasting."
