نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ، قَالَ: نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ الْأَدَمِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا، وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ
