"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') (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 141)
"إِن اللهَ اتخذَنِي خلِيلا كمَا اتخذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خلِيلا. فمَنزِلِى ومنزلُ إِبراهيمَ في الجنةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تِجَاهين، والعباس بَينَنَا مُؤمِن بَينَ خَلِيلينِ".
