عربی (اصل)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ مِنْ خُلَّتِهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

Sufyan told us, from al-A'mash, from Abdullah ibn Murrah, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Abdullah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "I disavow before Allah every close friendship. Had I taken a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend; but indeed your companion is the close friend of Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
