[Machine] Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq said to Abu Ubaidah when he was sending him to Sham: "I want you to know your high status and position in my eyes. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, there is no one on earth, from the Muhajireen or others, who I consider more just than you. This does not mean that Umar is not esteemed by me, but he is beneath you in status according to me." The source of this narration is unclear.  

أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لِأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ لَمَّا وَجَهَّهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ «إِنِّي أَحَبُّ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ كَرَامَتَكَ عَلَيَّ وَمَنْزِلَتَكَ مِنِّي وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَلَا غَيْرِهِمْ أَعْدِلُهُ بِكَ وَلَا هَذَا يَعْنِي عُمَرَ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ عِنْدِي إِلَّا دُونَ مَا لَكَ» سنده مظلم
