Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَ
ضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ فِي خِرْقَةٍ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَمَنَّ عَلَيَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ النَّاسِ خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

English Translation
Ishaq ibn 'Isa narrated to us, Jarir narrated to us, from Ya'la ibn Hakim, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out during his final illness, his head wrapped with a cloth. He sat on the pulpit, praised Allah and glorified Him, then said: 'There is no one among the people who has been more generous to me with his self and his wealth than Abu Bakr ibn Abi Quhafah. If I were to take a khalil from my ummah, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a khalil, but the friendship of Islam is better. Block every door in this masjid except the door of Abu Bakr.'
