Musnad al-Bazzar 2209

Translation

✧ ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUtbah wrote to ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr—who had appointed him over the judiciary of Iraq—asking him about the grandfather. Ibn al-Zubayr wrote back to him that the one about whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If I were to take a close friend, I would have taken him as a close friend,” made the grandfather a father.
