حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ قَالَ: نَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ سَوَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ:
لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ خَلِيلًا
