Sahih al-Bukhari 6738 (Book 85, Hadith 15) #6481
The Value of Islamic Brotherhood and Inheritance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that if he were to take a close friend from his nation, it would have been Abu Bakr, but the Islamic Brotherhood is better. He also regarded a grandfather as the father himself in inheritance.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The person about whom Allah's Messenger said, "If I were to take a Khalil from this nation (my followers), then I would have taken him (ie, Abu Bakr), but the Islamic Brotherhood is better (or said: good)," regarded a grandfather as the father himself (in inheritance).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَمَّا الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ خَلِيلاً لاَتَّخَذْتُهُ، وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الإِسْلاَمِ أَفْضَلُ ‏"‏‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ خَيْرٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْزَلَهُ أَبًا‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ قَضَاهُ أَبًا‏.‏
