حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - قَالَ: إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا - جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ خَلِيلًا، لَاتَّخَذْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ خَلِيلًا، وَلَكِنْ صَاحِبُكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللهِ»
  واصل بن حیان نے عبداللہ بن ابی ہذیل سے ، انھوں نے ابو احوص سے ، انھوں نے عبداللہ ( بن مسعود ) رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ، انھوں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " اگر میں زمین پر رہنے والوں میں سے کسی کو خلیل بناتا تو ابو قحافہ کے بیٹے کو خلیل بناتا ، لیکن تمہارے صاحب ( رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) اللہ کے خلیل ہیں ۔ "
