حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ، عَنْ فُرَاتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ (٢) وَهُوَ فُرَاتٌ الْقَزَّازُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ، إِذْ جَاءَهُ كِتَابُ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ: سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْجَدِّ؟ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَلِيلًا دُونَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، لَاتَّخَذْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخِي فِي الدِّينِ، وَصَاحِبِي فِي الْغَارِ "، جَعَلَ الْجَدَّ أَبًا، وَأَحَقُّ مَا أَخَذْنَاهُ قَوْلُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ (٣)، ،
Translation
English translation
Saeed bin Jubair says that once I was sitting with Abdullah bin Uqbah bin Masood when a letter from Abdullah bin Zubair arrived. Ibn Zubair had appointed him as a judge on his behalf. In this letter, it was written that after praise and blessings, you have written to me to inquire about the ruling concerning the grandfather. So the Prophet (ﷺ) once said: If I were to take anyone from this Ummah as my close friend besides my Lord, I would have taken Ibn Abi Quhafah, but he is my religious brother and companion of the cave. Siddiq Akbar considered the grandfather as the father, and the truth is that the opinion which seemed closest to reality to us in this matter is indeed that of Siddiq Akbar.
