´Narrated 'Abdul-Muttalib bin Rabi'ah bin Al-Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib:` "Al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a state of anger while I was with him, so he said: 'What has angered you?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is it with us and the Quraish, whenever they meet one another it is with glad faces, and when they meet us they meet us with other than that?'" He said: "So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) became angry, until his face reddened, then he said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! Faith does not enter a man's heart until he loves you for the sake of Allah, and for the sake of His Messenger.' Then he said: 'O people! Whoever harms my uncle, he has harmed me, for indeed, a man's uncle is not but the Sinw (two or three palm trees will come from a single root, so each is called a Sinw. A man's uncle is like that to his father. That is, he is like his father) of his father."
حدثنا أَحمدُ الدورقيُّ، أخبرنَا إسماعيلُ بنُ إبراهيمَ، عن الُجريريِّ، عن عَبدِاللهِ بن شَقيقٍ، قالَ: قلتُ لعائشةَ: أيُّ أصحابِ النَبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كانَ أحبَّ إليهِ؟ قالتْ: أبوبكرٍ، قلتُ: ثم مَنْ؟ قالتْ: ثم عمرُ، قلتُ: ثم مَنْ؟ قالتْ: ثم أبو عُبيدةَ بن الجراح، قلتُ: ثم مَنْ؟ فسكتتْ.
‘Abdullah bin Shaqiq says: I asked Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Among the companions, who was the most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? She said: Abu Bakr. I asked: Then who? She said: Umar. I asked: Then who? She said: Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah. I asked: Then who? At this, she remained silent. 1__REF_N__

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The word (ṣinw) appears in the hadith.
The reality of (ṣinw) is that when two, three, or four branches emerge from the same trunk of a tree,
these branches are called each other's (ṣinw).
Note: In the chain of narration, Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad al-Hashimi al-Kufi is a weak Shi'i narrator.
Due to old age, his memory had changed,
and he began to accept suggestions from others.
However, the last portion of the hadith (ʿammu al-rajuli ṣinwu abīhi) is established,
as will be mentioned ahead: 3760, 3761.
