ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ كَانَ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ
The Prophet ﷺ deputed me to read the Army of Dhat-as-Salasil. I came to him and said, "Who is the most beloved person to you?" He said, " ʿAisha." I asked, "Among the men?" He said, "Her father." I said, "Who then?" He said, "Then ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab." He then named other men. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3662)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «عَائِشَةُ» قُلْتُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ «أَبُوهَا» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ»
