Musnad Ahmad 3777

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Every Prophet has a close associate among the Prophets, and my close associate among them is my father and the close friend of my Lord, Ibraheem.” Then he recited: “Verily, among mankind who have the best claim to Ibraheem (Abraham) are those who followed him, and this Prophet (Muhammad (ﷺ)) and those who have believed (Muslims). And Allah is the Wali (Protector and Helper) of the believers" (Al ‘Imran 3:68).
