Narrated to us Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim — and the wording is that of Abu Bakr. Ishaq said: "He informed us," while Abu Bakr said: "Narrated to us Zakariyya ibn 'Adi, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Amr, from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysah, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Harith al-Najrani, who said: Jundab narrated to me, saying: I heard the Prophet ﷺ five days before his death, saying: 'Indeed, I disavow before Allah that I should have any intimate friend (khalil) from among you, for Allah Almighty has taken me as an intimate friend, just as He took Ibrahim as an intimate friend. And had I taken an intimate friend from my ummah, I would have taken Abu Bakr as an intimate friend. Beware! Those before you used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous people as places of prayer. Beware! Do not take graves as places of prayer — indeed, I forbid you from that.'"
