حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا الْفَيْضُ بْنُ وَثِيقٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ: نَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ بْنِ مِقْسَمٍ الضَّبِّيِّ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا، وَلَكِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللهِ ". " وَأُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ، لِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِنْهَا ظَهْرٌ وَبَطْنٌ
