The ruling on declaring a specific person to be a close friend of Allah

Question:
And O Messenger of Allah, does the general statement apply to a specific person regarding what was inherited from him in prayer and steadfastness?

Answer:
As for the adhan, we do not rule that anyone is a close friend of Allah. This requires evidence. However, we hope for the righteous and we have a good opinion of the people of faith. But we do not assert that this person is among the awliya (close friends of Allah). No one is ruled to be among the awliya of Allah except with evidence from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. But we believe and assert that the believers, in general, are the awliya of Allah. In general, all the believers are the awliya of Allah. But specifying individuals, we do not assert the status of wali for anyone except with evidence. But we hope for that for him, we hope for that for him. Yes. Ashab.
