that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀs leading the army of Dhāt ā-Salāsil. He said: I came to him and I said: Which people do you love most?' In the ḥadīth of Yaḥyá ˹he said˺: I said: O Messenger of Allah, who is your most beloved among the people? He responded: "ʿĀʾishah." I said: Among the men? He said, "Her father." I said: Then who? He said, "Then ʿUmar." And then he enumerated several men.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أِيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ وَفِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ عَائِشَةُ قُلْتُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ أَبُوهَا قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ فَعَدَّ رِجَالًا
