3655. 'Abdullāh narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I free myself of the friendship of every Khalīl, and if I were to take a Khalīl then I would have taken Ibn Abī Quḥāfah as a Khalīl. And indeed your companion is Allāh's Khalīl." (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh. There are narrations on this topic from Abū Sa'eed, Abū Hurairah, Ibn Az-Zubair and Ibn 'Abbās.

٣٦٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ» مِنْ خِلِّهِ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ خَلِيلًا، وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ لَخَلِيلُ اللهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ،. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.

Commentary

As the Prophet ﷺ had attained the status of being Allāh's Khalīl, therefore, it was not possible for him to give this status to anyone of his Companions, but every one of them could make him his friend. In this friendship, the status of Abū Bakr was above others.
