‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas said: Some Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat waiting for him. When he came near, he heard them talking. One said: ‘It is remarkable that Allah took Abraham as an intimate friend from among His creation.’ Another said: ‘What is more remarkable than Allah speaking directly to Moses?’ Another said: ‘Jesus is Allah’s word and His spirit.’ Another said: ‘Allah chose Adam.’ The Prophet ﷺ came out, greeted them, and said: ‘I heard what you said and your expressions of wonder. Abraham is Allah’s intimate friend, and that is so. Moses is Allah’s interlocutor, and that is so. Jesus is Allah’s spirit and His word, and that is so. Adam was chosen by Allah, and that is so. Indeed, I am Allah’s beloved, without boasting. I will carry the Banner of Praise on the Day of Resurrection, without boasting. I will be the first intercessor and the first whose intercession is accepted on the Day of Resurrection, without boasting. I will be the first to move the rings of Paradise, and Allah will open it for me; the poor among the believers will enter with me, without boasting. I am the most honored of the earlier and later peoples, without boasting.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a gharib hadith.
