Friend
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ وَاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۗ وَاتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا {125}
And who is better in Religion than the one who submits his face to Allah and he is a good doer and follows the Religion of Ibrahim, the upright; and Allah Took Ibrahim as a ‘خَلِيلًا’ friend [4:126]
و بإسناده إلى جابر بن عبد اللّه الأنصاريّ قال: سمعت رسول اللّه- صلّى اللّه عليه و آله- يقول: ما اتّخذ اللّه إبراهيم خليلا] إلّا لإطعام الطّعام و صلاته باللّيل و النّاس نيام
And by his chain to Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansary who said,
‘I heard Rasool Allah-saww saying: ‘Allah-azwj did not Take Ibrahim-as as a friend except for his-as feeding the food, and his-as Salat at night while the people were sleeping’’.[1]
