English translation

6738. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: The person about whom Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If I were to take a Khalil(1) from this nation (my followers), then I would have taken him (i.e., Abū Bakr), but the Islāmic Brotherhood is better (or said, 'good')," and regarded a grandfather as the father himself (in distribution of inheritance).

Arabic text

6738 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: أَمَّا الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ خَلِيلًا لاَتَّخَذْتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الإِسْلاَمِ أَفْضَلُ، أَوْ قَالَ: خَيْرٌ، فَإِنَّهُ أَنْزَلَهُ أَبًا، أَوْ قَالَ: قَضَاهُ أَبًا "
