Musnad Ahmad 17811

Translation

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sent me in command of the army of Dhat al-Salasil. I came to him and said: 'O Messenger of God, which of the people is most beloved to you?' He said: 'Aishah.' I said: 'Among men?' He said: 'Her father, then.' I said: 'Then who?' He said: 'Then Umar.' He then counted several men.
