[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Every Prophet has appointed successors from amongst the prophets, and my successor and Wali (closest friend) among them is my father Ibrahim." Then he recited the verse, "Indeed, the most worthy of Ibrahim among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this Prophet [Muhammad] and those who have believed. And Allah is the Wali of the believers." (Surah Al-Imran 3:68)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ وُلَاةٌ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَإِنَّ وَلِيِّي مِنْهُمْ أَبِي وَخَلِيلِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {إِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ لَلَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَذَا النَّبِيُّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [آل عمران 68]
