(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him."

Abu Bakr asked the Prophet ﷺ to allow him to go out (of Mecca) when he was greatly annoyed (by the infidels). But the Prophet ﷺ said to him, ''Wait." Abu Bakr said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Do you hope that you will be allowed (to migrate)?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I hope so." So Abu Bakr waited for him till one day Messenger of Allah ﷺ came at noon time and addressed him saying "Let whoever is present with you, now leave you." Abu Bakr said, "None is present but my two daughters." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you noticed that I have been allowed to go out (to migrate)?" Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle, I would like to accompany you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You will accompany me." Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have got two she-camels which I had prepared and kept ready for (our) going out." So he gave one of the two (she-camels) to the Prophet ﷺ and it was Al-Jadʿa . They both rode and proceeded till they reached the Cave at the mountain of Thaur where they hid themselves. Amir bin Fuhaira was the slave of ʿAbdullah bin at-Tufail bin Sakhbara ʿAisha's brother from her mother's side. Abu Bakr had a milch she-camel. Amir used to go with it (i.e. the milch she-camel) in the afternoon and come back to them before noon by setting out towards them in the early morning when it was still dark and then he would take it to the pasture so that none of the shepherds would be aware of his job. When the Prophet (and Abu Bakr) went away (from the Cave), he (i.e. 'Amir) too went along with them and they both used to make him ride at the back of their camels in turns till they reached Medina. 'Amir bin Fuhaira was martyred on the day of Bir Ma'una. Narrated ʿUrwa: When those (Muslims) at Bir Ma'una were martyred and ʿAmr bin Umaiya Ad- Damri was taken prisoner, 'Amir bin at-Tufail, pointing at a killed person, asked ʿAmr, "Who is this?" ʿAmr bin Umaiya said to him, "He is 'Amir bin Fuhaira." 'Amir bin at-Tufail said, "I saw him lifted to the sky after he was killed till I saw the sky between him and the earth, and then he was brought down upon the earth. Then the news of the killed Muslims reached the Prophet ﷺ and he announced the news of their death saying, "Your companions (of Bir Ma'una) have been killed, and they have asked their Lord saying, 'O our Lord! Inform our brothers about us as we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us." So Allah informed them (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ and his companions) about them (i.e. martyrs of Bir Mauna). On that day, ʿUrwa bin Asma bin As-Salt who was one of them, was killed, and ʿUrwa (bin Az- Zubair) was named after ʿUrwa bin Asma and Mundhir (bin AzZubair) was named after Mundhir bin ʿAmr (who had also been martyred on that day).

He who amongst you has food for two persons should take three (guests with him). and he who has with him food for four persons should take five or six (guests with him for entertaining them). It was (in accordance with these instructions of the Holy Prophet) that Abu Bakr brought three persons, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought ten persons (as guests to their respective houses). Abu Bakr had brought three persons (he himself, and myself), my father and my mother (along with therm). He (the narrator) said: I do not know whether he also said: My wife and one servant who was common between our house and that of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr had had his evening meal with Allah's Apostle ﷺ. He stayed here until night prayer had been offered. He then came back (to the house of Allah's Apostle) and stayed there until Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt drowsy and (Abu Bakr) then came (back to his own house) when (a considerable) part of the night had been over, as Allah had desired. His wife said to him: What held you back from your guests? He said: Oh! have you not served them the evening meal (by this time)? She said: It was in fact served to them. but they refused to eat until you came. He ('Abd al-Rahman) said: I slunk away and bid myself. He (Abu Bakr) said: O, you stupid fellow, and he reprimanded me, and said to the guests: Eat, though it may not be pleasant now. He said: By Allah. I will never eat it He ('Abd al-Rahman) said: By Allah. we did not take a morsel when from beneath that (there appeared) more until they had eaten to their fill, and lo! it was more than what it was before. Abu Bakr saw that and found that it was so or more than that. He said to his wife: Sister of Band Firis, what is th-is? She said: By the coolness of my eyes. it is in excess by three times over the previous one. Then Abu Bakr ate saying: That was from the Satan (viz. his vow for not eating the food). He then took a morsel out of that and then took it (the rest) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was kept there until morning, and during (those days) there was a covenant between us and some other people, and the period of covenant was over, and we had appointed twelve officials with every person amongst them. It is Allah only Who knows as to how many people were there with each of them. He sent (this food to them) and all of them ate out of it. (Using translation from Muslim 2057a)

[Machine] "I have never disobeyed my parents, and every day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit us both in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were put to trial, Abu Bakr left as an emigrant before the immigration to Abyssinia. When he reached Bark Al-Ghimad, he met Ibn Ad-Daghinah, who was the chief of the Quraish. Ibn Ad-Daghinah asked him, 'Where are you headed, Abu Bakr?' Abu Bakr replied, 'My people have forced me to emigrate.' Then Abu Bakr recited a verse of poetry and said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have seen your migration place in a dream, which is situated between two lava plains (hills) full of date-palm trees. It has two springs, one of them is called Ar-Rawah and the other is called Khaneekan." So, some people who had emigrated to the land of Abyssinia returned to Medina and the people of Abu Bakr prepared to emigrate. Abu Bakr's companions came to him and said, 'Don't you think that we have earned great reward?' Abu Bakr feared that they might dislike the company of Allah's Messenger ﷺ in comparison to the company of the angels. So Abu Bakr decided to accompany the Prophet ﷺ and make the pair of camels between them kneel down and prepared his luggage accordingly. Abu Bakr's wife said to him, 'Don't you think that you should change the destination?' On that Abu Bakr said, 'I have heard (from the Prophet) that migration (for Allah's Cause) is not to be changed. So, Allah's Messenger ﷺ guided Abu Bakr by his dream to the cave of Thawr, over which the cave of Thawr mountain was situated at the mountain of Thawr."

[Machine] Salih, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , seized the property of the people of Khaybar, except for themselves and their children. The Prophet then asked for the whereabouts of their utensils that were used in their weddings, to which they replied that the Prophet had expelled them and they had spent it. The Prophet said, "See what you say, for if you hide it from me, I will consider it as your blood and that of your descendants." Then he called two men from the Ansar and said to them, "Go to such and such a place and look for a hut with a patch on its roof. Remove the patch and bring me the utensils." They went and returned with the utensils. The Messenger of Allah struck their necks and sent for their offspring. Safiyya, who was their bride, was brought to him. He ordered Bilal to take her to his house. Bilal went with her to the house of the Messenger of Allah. He passed by her husband and brother, who were killed. When he returned to the Messenger of Allah, he said, "Glory be to Allah! O Bilal, why did you bring a virgin girl and pass by two killed men while she saw them? Don't you have any mercy?" Bilal replied, "I intended to burn her chest." The Messenger of Allah then entered with her and spent the night with her. Abu Ayub brought his sword and sat next to the mattress. He said, "If I had heard a shepherd or a monk, I would have been close to the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet then went to Bilal's house and asked, "Who is this?" Abu Ayub said, "I am Abu Ayub." The Prophet asked, "Why are you here at this time?" Abu Ayub replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I brought a virgin girl and you had killed her husband and brother, so I was concerned for your safety. I thought I would be close to the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "May Allah have mercy on you, Abu Ayub," three times. The people then discussed this matter, with some saying it was his secret and others saying she was his wife. When they were leaving, they said, "Look at the Messenger of Allah, if he covers her, then she is his wife, and if he doesn't cover her, then she is his secret." The Messenger of Allah covered her, put her on his knee, and said, "Mount." The Messenger of Allah honored her by putting her foot on his knee, and he put his knee on her thigh, and they rode off together. Before that, he had offered her the choice to either be set free or be married to him, and she chose to be set free and married. And so he did.

"عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ وَالأَقْرعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ إِلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ فَقَالَا: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا أَرْضًا سَبِخَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا كَلأٌ وَلَا مَنْفَعَةٌ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُقْطِعَنَاهَا لَعَلَّنَا نَحْرثُها وَنَزْرَعُهَا؟ فَأَقْطَعَهَا إِيَّاهُمَا، وَكَتَبَ لَهُمَا عَليْهِ كِتَابًا وَأَشْهَدَ فِيهِ عُمَرَ، وَلَيْسَ فِى الْقَوْمِ، فَانطلقا إِلَى عُمَرَ لِيُشْهِدَاهُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ عُمَرُ مَا فِى الْكِتَابِ تَنَاوَلَهُ مِنْ أَيْدِينَا، ثم تَفَلَ فِيهِ وَمَحَاهُ، فَتذمَّرا، وَقَالَا لَهُ مَقَالَة سيَئةً، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ كَانَ يَتَألَّفُكُمَا وَالإِسْلَامُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ذَلِيلٌ، وَإِنَّ اللَّه قَدْ أَعزَّ الإِسْلَامَ، فَاذْهَبَا فَاجْهَدَا جُهْدَكمَا لَا أَرْعَى اللَّه وعَلَيْكُمَا إِنْ لَم أرعيتها، فَأَقْبَلَا إلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا يَتَذَامَرانِ، فَقَالَا: وَاللَّه مَا نَدْرِى أَنْتَ الْخَلِيَفَةُ أمْ عُمَرُ؟ فَقَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ، وَلَوْ شَاءَ كَانَ، فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ مُغْضَبًا حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى أَبِى بَكْر فَقَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ، وَلَوْ شَاءَ كَانَ، فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ مُغْضَبًا حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى أَبِى بَكْر فَقَالَ: أخْبِرْنِى عَنْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِى أَقْطَعْتَهَا هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، أَرضٌ لَكَ خَاصَّةً أَمْ هِى بَيْنَ المسلِمينَ عامَّةً؟ قَالَ: بَلْ هِى بَيْنَ الْمُسلِمِينَ عَامَّةً، قَالَ: فَمَا حملك على أن تخص هذين بها دون جماعة المسلمين؟ قال: اسْتَشَرْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلِى فَأَشَارُوا عَلَىَّ بِذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا اسْتَشَرْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَكَ؟ أَوَكُلَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أوسَعْتَ مَشُورَةً وَرضًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: قَدْ كُنْتُ قَلْتُ لَكَ إِنَّكَ أَقْوَى عَلَى هَذَا الأَمْر مِنِّى، وَلَكِنَّكَ غَلبْتَنِى".
