Sahih al-Bukhari 3662

Mu‘alla ibn Asad reported to us: ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn al-Mukhtar reported to us. Khalid al-Hadhdha’ said: Abu ‘Uthman reported to us, saying: ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (may Allah be pleased with him) related to me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed him over the army of Dhat al-Salasil. I came to him and asked, ‘Who among the people is dearest to you?’ He said, ‘‘A’ishah.’ I asked, ‘Among the men?’ He said, ‘Her father.’ I asked, ‘Then who?’ He said, ‘Then ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab.’ Then he named several men.
