عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال قيل يا رسول الله أي الناس أحب إليك؟ قال عائشة قيل ومن الرجال؟ قال أبوها (مشكوة المصابيح ص555)
Hadhrat Anas رضي الله عنه says that Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم was once asked as to which person was most beloved to him. Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “Hadhrat Aaisha رضي الله عنها.” The person thereupon enquired as to who was the most beloved from amongst the men. Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “Her father (i.e. Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه).”

REFLECTIONS
How strange it is that the most beloved personalities to Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم are the main target of hatred, insults and curses for some unfortunate groups.
May Allah Ta’ala save us and our progenies from associating with such deviant individuals. Āmeen
