حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَمَّا الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ خَلِيلاً لاَتَّخَذْتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الإِسْلاَمِ أَفْضَلُ ‏"‏. أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ خَيْرٌ ‏"‏. فَإِنَّهُ أَنْزَلَهُ أَبًا. أَوْ قَالَ قَضَاهُ أَبًا.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The person about whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If I were to take a Khalil from this nation (my followers), then I would have taken him (i.e., Abu Bakr), but the Islamic Brotherhood is better (or said: good)," regarded a grandfather as the father himself (in inheritance)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ ‘‘আমি এ উম্মাতের কাউকে অন্তরঙ্গ হিসেবে গ্রহণ করলে তাকে [আবূ বাকর (রাঃ)]-কে গ্রহণ করতাম। কিন্তু ইসলামী বন্ধুত্বই সবচেয়ে উত্তম।’’ أَفْضَلُ শব্দ বলেছেন না কি خَيْرٌ এ ব্যাপারে রাবীর সন্দেহ আছে। তিনি (রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম] তাঁকে (ইবরাহীম আ. কে) পিতৃ মর্যাদা দিয়েছেন অথবা তাঁকে পিতার আসনে বসিয়েছেন। [৪৬৭] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬২৭০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
