Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1542 — The Book of the Virtues of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ

Amr b. al-'As Narrated from:

The Prophet ﷺ deputed me to lead the army of Dhat-as-Salâsil. I came to him and said, “Who is the most beloved person to you?” He said, “‘Âisha.” I asked, “Among the men?” He said, “Her father.” I said, “Who then?” He said, “Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb” He then named other men. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 14, Vol. 5 )
