[Machine] "Abu Bakr, upon his arrival, said to me, 'Everything has increased in my wealth since I entered into this government. I will return it to the caliph after me.' She said, 'When he died, we looked and found nothing in his wealth except what seemed to be a large sum of money that he was using to water his garden and a Nubian boy who was carrying his child.' She said, 'I sent him to Umar.' She said, 'I was informed that Umar cried and said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu Bakr. He truly exhausted those who came after him."'"

"عَنْ عَائشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِى مَرَضِهِ الَّذِى مَاتَ فِيهِ: انْظُرُوا مَا زَادَ فِى مَالِى مُنْذُ دَخَلْتُ فِى الْخِلَافَةِ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَى الْخَلِيفَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِى، فَلَمَّا مَاتَ نَظَرُوا فَإِذَا عَبْدٌ نُوبِىٌّ يَحْمِلُ صبْيَانَهُ، وَنَاضِحٌ كَانَ يَسْقِى عَلَيْهِ، فَبَعَثْنَا بِهِمَا إِلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: رَحْمةُ الله عَلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ؛ لَقَدْ أَتْعَبَ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ تَعَبًا شَدِيدًا".
