Hadith on Abraham: Ibrahim is the ally of the Prophet

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, every Prophet has an ally among the Prophets and surely my ally is my father, Abraham, the intimate friend of my Lord, upon him be peace.” Then, the Prophet recited the verse, “Verily, the closest to Abraham are those who followed him, this Prophet, and those who have faith, for Allah is the ally of the believers.” (3:68)
