Abdur Rahman bin Yazid narrates: We said to Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him): Tell us about a person who is closest to the guidance and ways of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so that we may acquire those things from him. He replied: I do not know anyone who is closer to the ways, guidance, and direction of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) than Ibn Umm Abd, until the wall of his house conceals him (i.e., in matters outside the house, he most closely resembles the Prophet). Among the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the trustworthy ones know that Ibn Umm Abd is the closest in terms of being a means of nearness to Allah Almighty.
