أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ قَالَ
قُلْنَا لِحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ أَنْبِئْنَا بِرَجُلٍ قَرِيبِ الْهَدْيِ وَالسَّمْتِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَأْخُذُ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا أَعْرِفُ أَقْرَبَ سَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا وَدَلًّا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ حَتَّى يُوَارِيهِ جِدَارُ بَيْتِهِ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْمَحْفُوظُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ أَقْرَبِهِمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَسِيلَةً»

✧ We said to Hudhayfa b. al-Yaman: “Tell us of a man close in guidance and manner to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from whom we can take.” He said: “I do not know anyone closer in manner, guidance, and bearing to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than Ibn Umm Abd, until the wall of his house hides him. And the preserved ones among the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ know that Ibn Umm Abd is among the closest of them to Allah as a means.”
