that the wife of Rifa’ah Al-Qurazi came to the Messenger of Allah and said: “I was married to Rifa’ah, and he divorced me and made it irrevocable. Then I married ‘ Abdur-Rahman bin Zubair, and what he has is like the fringe of a garment.” The Prophet smiled and said: “Do you want to go back to Rifa’ah? No, not until you taste his (‘Abdur-Rahman’s) sweetness and he tastes your sweetness.”
“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have no need of the friendship of any Khalil (close friend) but if I were to have taken anyone as a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend, but your companion is the close friend of Allah,'” (One of the narrators) Waki’ said: (by the phrase ‘your companion’), he was referring to himself.
