حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلاً كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلاً فَمَنْزِلِي وَمَنْزِلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تِجَاهَيْنِ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بَيْنَنَا مُؤْمِنٌ بَيْنَ خَلِيلَيْنِ " .
'Abdullah bin 'Amr Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah has taken me as a close friend (Khalil) as He took Ibrahim as a close friend. So my house and the house of Ibrahim will be opposite to one another on the Day of Resurrection, and 'Abbas will be in between us, a believer between two close friends.'" (Maudu')

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 141
This Hadith about Khalil of Allah centers on a very high form of honor. The report says that Allah took the Messenger of Allah as a close friend, just as He took Ibrahim as a close friend. It also describes the houses of the Prophet and Ibrahim facing one another in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, with Abbas between them as a believer between two close friends. Since the input itself marks this narration as Maudu', the content should be presented carefully as a reported wording, not as a basis for adding extra claims. The main message in the wording is about love, rank, and closeness to Allah, while also naming Ibrahim and Abbas with honor.
What we learn from this hadith
- The wording links the Prophet and Ibrahim through the title Khalil, close friend of Allah.
- The report mentions Paradise and the Day of Resurrection as a place of honor.
- The text identifies Abbas as a believer placed between two close friends.
- Because the input labels it Maudu', it should be handled with care.
