[Machine] Uyainah ibn Hisn and al-Aqra ibn Habis came to Abu Bakr and said, "O Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we have a barren land that is neither productive nor beneficial. If you think it is suitable, we can cultivate it and plow it." Abu Bakr mentioned the narration regarding land distribution and the testimony of Umar, and erased it. Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to include both of you, and Islam was humiliated at that time. But now, Allah has elevated Islam. So go and exert your efforts, for I will not dictate to you if you act according to what is best for Allah. It is mentioned about al-Sha'bi that he said, 'None of them remained loyal in their hearts except that they were loyal to the teachings of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When Abu Bakr became the caliph, the sense of love and loyalty towards Islam disappeared.' As for al-Hasan, he said, 'As for the loyalty in their hearts, it no longer exists today.'"
