الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ
أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ مِنْ خِلِّهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ خَلِيلًا ، وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
