[Machine] Abu Bakr As-Siddiq delivered a sermon to the people, praising and thanking Allah. He then said, "Indeed, the wisest thing is righteousness, and the most foolish thing is wickedness. Know that, in my view, truthfulness is trustworthiness, and lying is betrayal. Know also that the strong person in my eyes is weak until I take their rights from them, and the weak person in my eyes is strong until I give them their rights. Know that I have been appointed over you, but I am not the best among you." Al-Hasan said, "By Allah, he is the best among them, without any doubt. However, a believer criticizes himself." Abu Bakr then said, "If only this matter had been given to someone else." Al-Hasan said, "You have spoken the truth, and by Allah, even if you desired that I be given what Allah entrusted His Prophet with through revelation, that is not for me. Indeed, I am but a human being, prone to error." The following morning, Abu Bakr went to the marketplace and Umar asked him, "Where are you headed?" Abu Bakr replied, "To the market." Umar said, "Something has come to distract you from the market." Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it distracts me from my family." Umar advised him to spend his wealth on good deeds. Abu Bakr feared that he would not have any money left to sustain himself, but Umar insisted that he spend 18,000 dirhams in total. When Abu Bakr was on his deathbed, he said, "I told Umar that I was afraid that I would not have anything left to eat from this money, but he overpowered me. When I die, take 8,000 dirhams from my wealth and return it to the treasury." When Umar received the money, he said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu Bakr. He has exhausted those who came after him with great exhaustion."
