I heard Anas bin Malik say, A man said to the Prophet ﷺ, "Best of creation!"He replied, "That was Ibrahim."
حدثنا محمد بن بشار حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي حدثنا سفيان
سمعت أنس بن مالك يقول قال رجل للنبي ﷺ يا خير البرية قال ذلك إبراهيم
Muslim also narrated it in "The Book of Virtues," chapter on the virtues of Ibrahim the intimate friend of Allah, hadith no. 2369, from the hadith of Ibn Mahdi with this same chain.
