[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I saw as if I was given a cup filled with milk, so I drank from it until I was full. Then I saw it flowing in my veins, between the skin and the flesh, and there was a surplus from it. So, I gave it to Abu Bakr." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this knowledge that Allah has given you until you were full and there was a surplus that you gave to Abu Bakr?" He ﷺ said, "You have guessed correctly."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي أُعْطِيتُ عُسًّا مَمْلُوءًا لَبَنًا فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى تَمَلَّأْتُ فَرَأَيْتُهَا تَجْرِي فِي عُرُوقِي بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ فَفَضَلَتْ مِنْهَا فَضْلَةٌ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا عِلْمٌ أَعْطَاكَهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى إِذَا تَمَلَّأْتَ مِنْهُ فَضَلَتْ فَضْلَةٌ فَأَعْطَيْتَهَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ»  

" Messenger of Allah ﷺ is reported to have said: Behold I am free from the dependence of all bosom friends and if I were to choose anyone as bosom friend I would have taken Abu Bakr as my bosom friend. Allah has taken your companion as a friend. (Using translation from Muslim 2383e)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ مِنْ خِلِّهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ وُدُّ إِخَاءٍ وَإِيمَانٍ وَإِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ»  

If I were to choose a bosom friend I would have definitely chosen Abu Bakr as my bosom friend, but he is my brother and my companion and Allah, the Exalted and Gliorious. has taken your brother and companion (meaning Prophet himself) as a friend. (Using translation from Muslim 2383a)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَخِي وَصَاحِبِي وَقَدِ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلًا»  

[Machine] "And the Prophet ﷺ commanded the closing of the doors of the streets in the mosque, except for the door of Abu Bakr."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِسَدِّ الْأَبْوَابِ الشَّوَارِعِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا بَابَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ »  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The wealth of none of you has benefited me as much as the wealth of Abu Bakr.'" Abu Bakr wept and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I and my wealth are only for you, O Messenger of Allah.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 94)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا نَفَعَنِي مَالٌ قَطُّ مَا نَفَعَنِي مَالُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَقَالَ مَا أَنَا وَمَالِي إِلَّا لَكَ  

[Machine] "Abu Bakr spent forty thousand on the Messenger of Allah."  

«أَنْفَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out during the illness in which he passed away, with a band around his head. He then sat on the pulpit and praised Allah and praised Him. He then said, "There is no one among the people who has not been entrusted with himself and his wealth except for Abu Bakr. If I were to take a close friend from the people, I would have taken Abu Bakr. But the companionship of Islam prevented me from anything other than the companionship of Abu Bakr in the mosque, except for the companionship of Abu Bakr."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَمَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مِنِ ابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنَ النَّاسِ خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ»  

that Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on the pulpit and said, "Allah gave a choice to a servant that he may opt for the beauties of the world or that which is with Him. And the servant chose that which was with Him." Thereupon Abū Bakr wept and he wept a lot and said: "Let our fathers and our mothers be taken as ransom for you." It was Messenger of Allah ﷺ who had been given the choice, and Abū Bakr knew it better than us.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ is reported to have said, "Behold, of all people the most generous toward me in regard to his companionship and his property was Abū Bakr. Were I to choose anyone as my khalīl (close friend), I would have chosen Abū Bakr as my khalīl, but ˹for him I cherish˺ Islamic brotherhood. There shall be left open no window ˹facing˺ Masjid ˹al-Nabawī˺ except Abū Bakr's window." (Using translation from Muslim 2382a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ عَبْدًا خَيَّرَهُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا مَا شَاءَ وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَاخْتَارَ مَا عِنْدَهُ» فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَقَالَ فَدَيْنَاكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ الْمُخَيَّرُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمَنَا بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَمَنَّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي مَالِهِ وَصَحِبْتِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ لَا يَبْقِيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَوْخَةٌ إِلَّا خَوْخَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ»  

"Abu Bakr is our chief, and the best of us, and the most beloved of us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3656)   

«كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحَبَّنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ خَيَرَنَا وَسَيِّدَنَا»  

that Abu Bakr said: "Am I not the most deserving of it among the people, am I not the first to become Muslim, am I not the person of such and such, am I not the person of such and such." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3667)   

أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ «أَلَسْتُ أَحَقَّ النَّاسِ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ؟ أَلَسْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ؟ أَلَسْتُ صَاحِبَ كَذَا؟ أَلَسْتُ صَاحِبَ كَذَا؟ »  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "You are freed by Allah from the Hellfire." Therefore, he was called "Ateeq" (meaning freed or emancipated).  

لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَنْتَ عَتِيقُ اللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ» فَسُمِّيَ عَتِيقًا  

The prophet of Allah ﷺ ascended Uhud, and Abu Bakr, ’Umar and 'Uthman followed him. It began to shake with them. The prophet of Allah ﷺ struck it with his foot and said: Be still, for only a prophet, an ever-truthful and two martyrs are on you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4651)   

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَعِدَ أُحُدًا فَتَبِعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ ؓ فَرَجَفَ بِهِمْ فَضَرَبَهُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ «اثْبُتْ أُحُدُ فَمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ وَصِدِّيقٌ وَشَهِيدَانِ»  

"Whoever spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, he will be called in Paradise: 'O slave of Allah, here is prosperity, Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of salah. Whoever is on of the people of charity, he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan.' Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said: 'O Messenger of Allah, no distress or need will befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2238)   

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ نُودِيَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَاةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَنَ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الْجِهَادِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنَ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّانِ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي هَلْ يُدْعَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ كُلِّهَا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man will enter Paradise and no inhabitant of a house or room will remain except that they will say, 'Welcome, welcome to us.'" Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you see for this man on that day?" He said, "Certainly, and you are that man, O Abu Bakr."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ فَلَا يَبْقَى أَهْلُ دَارٍ وَلَا أَهْلُ غُرْفَةٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا مَرْحَبًا مَرْحَبًا إِلَيْنَا إِلَيْنَا» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى عَلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ؟ قَالَ «أَجَلْ وَأَنْتَ هُوَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ»  

[Machine] I have never seen my parents without them practicing their faith, and not a day would pass without the messenger of Allah ﷺ visiting us at both ends of the day, in the morning and evening. When the Muslims were tested, Abu Bakr migrated before the Abyssinian land. When he reached Bark al-Ghimad, he was met by Ibn al-Daghinah, who was the ruler of the region. He asked, "Where are you going, O Abu Bakr?" Abu Bakr replied, "My people have forced me out, and I intend to travel in the land and worship my Lord." Ibn al-Daghinah said, "People like you, O Abu Bakr, do not leave nor are they forced to leave. You earn what is lost, maintain family ties, carry the load for others, honor guests, help those in need, and assist in matters of truth. I am your neighbor, so return and worship your Lord in your own land." Ibn al-Daghinah then left and Abu Bakr returned with him. Ibn al-Daghinah then went around the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "Abu Bakr is not like anyone of you. You are expelling a man who earns what is lost, maintains family ties, carries the load for others, honors guests, and helps in matters of truth." The people of Quraish then surrounded Ibn al-Daghinah and granted protection to Abu Bakr. They told Ibn al-Daghinah, "Tell Abu Bakr to worship his Lord in his own home as he pleases, to perform prayer as he pleases, to recite the Quran as he pleases, and to not harm us or cause disturbance by praying or reciting in a place other than his own home." And he did so.  

لَمْ أَعْقِلْ أَبَوَيَّ قَطُّ إِلَّا وَهُمَا يَدِينَانِ الدِّينَ وَلَمْ يَمُرَّ عَلَيْنَا يَوْمٌ إِلَّا يَأْتِينَا فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا فَلَمَّا ابْتُلِيَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ خَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُهَاجِرًا قِبَلَ أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ بَرْكَ الْغِمَادِ لَقِيَهُ ابْنُ الدَّغِنَّةِ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ الْقَارَةِ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَخْرَجَنِي قَوْمِي فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسِيحَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَعْبُدَ رَبِّي فَقَالَ ابْنُ الدُّغُنَّةِ إِنَّ مِثْلَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَا يَخْرُجُ وَلَا يُخْرَجُ إِنَّكَ تُكْسِبُ الْمَعْدُومَ وتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَتَحْمِلُ الْكَلَّ وَتَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ وَتُعِينُ عَلَى نَوَائِبِ الْحَقِّ وَأَنَا لَكَ جَارٌ فَارْجِعْ فَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ بِبَلَدِكَ فَارْتَحَلَ ابْنُ الدُّغُنَّةِ فَرَجَعَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَطَافَ ابْنُ الدُّغُنَّةِ فِي كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَا يُخْرَجُ مِثْلُهُ وَتُخْرِجُونَ رَجُلًا يُكْسِبُ الْمَعْدُومَ وَيَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَيَحْمِلُ الْكَلَّ وَيَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ وَيُعِينُ عَلَى نَوَائِبِ الْحَقِّ فَأَنْفَذَتْ قُرَيْشٌ جِوَارَ ابْنِ الدَّغِنَةِ وَأَمَّنُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ وَقَالَتْ لِابْنِ الدَّغِنَةِ مُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيَعْبُدْ رَبَّهُ فِي دَارِهِ مَا شَاءَ وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهَا مَا شَاءَ وَلْيَقْرَأْ مَا شَاءَ وَلَا يُؤْذِينَا وَلَا يَسْتَعْلِنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي غَيْرِ دَارِهِ فَفَعَلَ  

[Machine] I said to the Prophet ﷺ , "If one of them were to look beneath his feet, we would see what is beneath his feet." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "What do you think of two, with Allah as their third?"  

قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ لَأَبْصَرَنَا مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا»  

[Machine] I heard Al-Bara' saying, Abu Bakr bought a camel from a bachelor for thirteen dirhams. Abu Bakr said to Al-Bara', "Take it to my family." The bachelor said to him, "Before you leave, tell me how you and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ managed when you both left Mecca and the pagans were looking for you." Abu Bakr said, "We left Mecca and hid in a cave, spending the night until we appeared during the day. We took shelter under a rock until midday when the shade disappeared. I leveled the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and made a makeshift bed for him. Then I told him, 'Lie down, O Messenger of Allah,' and he lay down. I went out to see if anyone was searching for us. I saw a shepherd driving his sheep towards the rock, seeking shade just like we wanted. So, I asked him, 'Who do you belong to, O boy?' He replied, 'To so-and-so, a man from Quraysh.' I recognized him and asked, 'Do your sheep produce milk?' He answered, 'Yes.' I then asked, 'Are you able to milk the sheep for me?' He answered, 'Yes.' I instructed him to take a sheep from his flock and remove the dust from it. Then, I told him to rub his hands together and he did so. He struck one hand against the other and began milking the sheep into a container. I had with me a piece of cloth which I used to cover the mouth of the container until it cooled down."  

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ اشْتَرَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ عَازِبٍ رَحْلًا بِثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَمًا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ لِعَازِبٍ مُرِ الْبَرَاءَ فَلْيَحْمِلْهُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَقَالَ لَهُ عَازِبٌ لَا حَتَّى تُحَدِّثْنِي كَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ أَنْتَ وَرَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَرَجْتُمَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ يَطْلُبُونَكُمْ فَقَالَ ارْتَحَلْنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَأَحْيَيْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا حَتَّى أَظْهَرَنَا وَقَامَ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ رَمَيْتُ بِبَصَرِي هَلْ نَرَى ظِلًّا نَأْوِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِصَخْرَةٍ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا بَقِيَّةُ ظِلِّهَا فَسَوَّيْتُهُ ثُمَّ فَرَشْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ اضْطَجِعْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَاضْطَجَعَ ثُمَّ ذَهَبْتُ أَنْظُرُ هَلْ أَرَى مِنَ الطَّلَبِ أَحَدًا فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَاعِي غَنَمٍ يَسُوقُ غَنَمَهُ إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ يُرِيدُ مِنْهَا مِثْلَ الَّذِي أُرِيدُ يَعْنِي الظِّلَّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ أَنْتَ يَا غُلَامُ؟ قَالَ الْغُلَامُ لِفُلَانٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَعَرَفْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ فِي غَنَمِكَ مِنْ لَبَنٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ أَنْتَ حَالِبٌ لِي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرْتُهُ فَاعْتَقَلَ شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِهِ وَأَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَنْفُضَ عَنْهَا مِنَ الْغُبَارِ ثُمَّ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَنْفُضَ كَفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا فَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَحَلَبَ فِي كُثْبَةٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ وَقَدْ رَوَيْتُ مَعِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِدَاوَةً عَلَى فَمِهَا خِرْقَةٌ فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ  

[Machine] That a woman came to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asking him for something, and he said to her, "Go back to me." She said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, if I go back and do not find you alive, then who should I turn to?" He ﷺ said, "If you do not find me, turn to Abu Bakr."  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَسْأَلُهُ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ لَهَا «ارْجِعِي إِلَيَّ» فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ رَجَعْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ تُعَرِّضُ بِالْمَوْتِ قَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَالْقَيْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ once had a conversation with a woman and then instructed her to come back to him. She asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if I come back and cannot find you?' It was as if she meant death. He replied, 'If you cannot find me, then go to Abu Bakr.'"  

أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ رَجَعْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ قَالَ «فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَائْتِ* أَبَا بَكْرٍ»  

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became seriously ill, Bilal came to tell him it was time to pray and he said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."' She said: "I said: '0 Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and when he stands in your place he will not be able to make the people hear his voice; why don't you tell 'Umar (to do it)?' He said: 'Tell a Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer.' I said to Hafsah: 'Tell him.' So she told him. He said: 'You are (like) the female companions of Yosuf. Tell Abu Bakr lead the people in prayer."' She said: "So they told Abu Bakr. When he started to pray, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to feel better, so he got up and came with the help of two men, with his feet dragging along the ground. (When) he entered the Masjid, Abu Bakr heard him coming and he wanted to step back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him: 'Stay where you are.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat on Abu Bakr's left, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading the people in prayer sitting, and Abu Bakr was standing and following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 833)   

لَمَّا ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ مَتَى يَقُمْ مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ لَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ قَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ قُولِي لَهُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ مَتَى يَقُمْ مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ قَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خِفَّةً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَامَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَرِجْلَاهُ تَخُطُّ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِسَّهُ ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ فَأَوْمَأَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَمَا أَنْتَ» حَتَّى جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ يَسَارِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَاعِدًا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمٌ يَقْتَدِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يَقْتَدُونَ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became severely ill, he said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Aisha said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and when he stands in your place, the people will not be able to hear the recitation due to his weeping." He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." She repeated her statement, and he said, "You are like the women of Joseph. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Ibn Shihab said, "And Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Utba narrated to me from Aisha that she said, 'I opposed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter, but the only reason that compelled me to do so was the fear that people would become displeased with Abu Bakr. And I knew that no one could take his place without people becoming displeased with him. So, I desired that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ change his decision regarding Abu Bakr.'"  

لَمَّا اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَعَهُ قَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ إِذَا قَامَ مَقَامَكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ قَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَعَاوَدَتْهُ مِثْلَ مقَالَتِهَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَقَدْ عَاوَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَمَا حَمَلَنِي عَلَى مُعَاوَدَتِهِ إِلَّا أَنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَتَشَاءَمَ النَّاسُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَقُومَ مَقَامَهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا تَشَاءَمَ النَّاسُ بِهِ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَعْدِلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

[Machine] While the Prophet ﷺ was giving a sermon on Friday, a caravan from Medina arrived. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hurried towards it until only twelve men remained with him ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, if you continue to follow them until no one is left with me, the valley will ask you for fire."  

بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَدِمَتْ عِيرٌ الْمَدِينَةَ فَابْتَدَرَهَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَهُ ﷺ إِلَّا اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ تَتَابَعْتُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ لَسَالَ لَكُمُ الْوَادِي نَارًا»  

While I was asleep I saw (in a dream) a cup containing milk being presented to me. I took out of that until I perceived freshness being reflected through my nails. Then I presented the leftover to 'Umar b. Khattab. They said: Messenger of Allah: How do you interpret it? He said: This implies knowledge. (Using translation from Muslim 2391a)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ قَدَحًا أَتَيْتُ بِهِ فِيهِ لَبَنٌ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَجْرِي فِي أَظْفَارِي ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ» قَالُوا فَمَا أَوَّلْتَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «الْعِلْمَ»  

[Machine] By Allah, no word was mentioned to him until he stood up intently towards the Mosque and called out the people of Quraysh. He said, "O people of Quraysh, indeed the son of Al-Khattab has taken over." Umar said, "He lied, but indeed I have embraced Islam, believed in Allah, and affirmed His Messenger." Then they confronted him and fought with him until the sun set on their heads. Umar got injured and sat down. They stood over his head, and Umar said, "Do whatever seems best to you. By Allah, if we were three hundred men, you would not have escaped us, or we would have not left it to you." While they were in that situation, a man came wearing a silk robe and a Qumiss garment. He asked, "What is happening?" They said, "Indeed the son of Al-Khattab has taken over." He said, "It seems as if a garment has been removed from him." Then I said to him later in Medina, "Father, who was the man who defended you that day?" He said, "O my son, that was Tha'alib bin Wail."  

فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةً حَتَّى قَامَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَى أَنْدِيَةَ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ إِنَّ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَدْ صَبَأَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «كَذَبَ وَلَكِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَآمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَصَدَّقْتُ رَسُولَهُ» فَثَاوَرُوهُ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى رَكَدَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ حَتَّى فَتَرَ عُمَرُ وَجَلَسَ فَقَامُوا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «افْعَلُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ كُنَّا ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ رَجُلٍ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا لَنَا أَوْ تَرَكْنَاهَا لَكُمْ» فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ قِيَامٌ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةُ حَرِيرٍ وَقَمِيصٌ قَوْمَسِيٌّ فَقَالَ مَا بَالَكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَدْ صَبَأَ قَالَ فَمَهْ امْرُؤٌ اخْتَارَ دِينًا لِنَفْسِهِ أَفَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ بَنِي عَدِيٍّ تُسْلِمُ إِلَيْكُمْ صَاحِبَهُمْ؟ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّمَا كَانُوا ثَوْبًا انْكَشَفَ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بَعْدُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَا أَبَتِ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي رَدَّ عَنْكَ الْقَوْمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ فَقَالَ «يَا بُنَيَّ ذَاكَ الْعَاصُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Masood saying, "We have been honored since Umar became a Muslim."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «مَا زِلْنَا أَعِزَّةً مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, strengthen the religion through (the love and support of) these two men to You: Abu Jahl Ibn Hisham or Umar Ibn Al-Khattab."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِزَّ الدِّينَ بِأَحَبِّ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ إِلَيْكَ بِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ أَوْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'O Allah! Strengthen Islam with 'Umar bin Khattab in particular.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 105)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ خَاصَّةً»  

[Machine] "When Umar embraced Islam, Gabriel, ﷺ , came to the Prophet Muhammad, may ﷺ , and said, 'O Muhammad, the people of heaven have indeed rejoiced at the Islam of Umar.'"  

«لَمَّا أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ أَتَى جِبْرِيلُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَقَدِ اسْتَبْشَرَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ بِإِسْلَامِ عُمَرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Umar ibn Al-Khattab is one of the people of Paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who among the people do you love the most?" He said, "Aisha." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, among the men?" He said, "Her father, Abu Bakr." I asked, "Then who?" He said, "Then Umar ibn al-Khattab."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «عَائِشَةُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ «أَبُوهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I entered Jannah and saw a palace made of gold or pearls, so I asked, 'Whose palace is this?' They said, 'It belongs to Umar ibn Al-Khattab.' I was prevented from entering it because of my knowledge of your jealousy." Umar said, "I am jealous for you with my father and mother."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا قَصْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ لُؤْلُؤٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَمَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَدْخُلَهُ إِلَّا عِلْمِي بِغَيْرَتِكَ» قَالَ عَلَيْكَ أَغَارُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي عَلَيْكَ أَغَارُ  

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "I entered Paradise and it was as if I was in a palace of gold. So I said: 'Whose palace is this?' They said: 'A youth's, from the Quraish.' So I thought that I was him. I said: 'And who is he?' They said: "'Umar bin Al-Khattab." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3688)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِقَصْرٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ فَقَالُوا لِشَابٍّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ فَقُلْتُ وَمَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالُوا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ»  

"We were sitting with the Prophet and he said: 'While I was sleeping I saw myself in Paradise (in a dream), and I saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked: "Whose palace is this?" She said: "'Umar's." I remembered his protective jealousy, so I turned away and left.'" Abu Hurairah said: ''Umar wept and said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Would I feel any protective jealousy against you?'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 107)   

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ تَوَضَّأُ إِلَى جَانِبِ قَصْرٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَتْ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَذَكَرْتُ غَيْرَةَ عُمَرَ فَوَلَّيْتُ مُدْبِرًا» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعًا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعَلَيْكَ أَغَارُ؟  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, the Exalted, has placed truth on Umar's tongue and he speaks it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2962)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ وَقَلْبِهِ»  

"While I was sleeping I saw people presented before me, and that they were wearing shirts. Some of them (the shirts) reaching their breasts, and some of them reaching below that." He said: "Then 'Umar was presented before me and he was wearing a shirt that was dragging." They said: "How did you interpret that O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The religion." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2285)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ مِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثَّدْيَيْنِ وَمِنْهَا مَا هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَعُرِضَ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَجُرُّهُ» فَقَالَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ مَا أَوَّلْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «الدِّينُ»  

[Machine] He was stabbed, so he said, "Rejoice, O Amir al-Mu'minin, you embraced Islam with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the people disbelieved, and you fought alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the people abandoned him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away while he was pleased with you, and there were no disputes regarding your leadership, and you were martyred." So he said, "Speak again." So he repeated it and said, "The one deceived is the one you have deceived. Had it not been for what she possesses of whiteness and yellowness on her back, I would have accepted it in exchange for the horror of the early morning."  

طُعِنَ فَقَالَ «أَبْشِرْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَسْلَمْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ كَفَرَ النَّاسُ وَقَاتَلْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ خَذَلَهُ النَّاسُ وَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ وَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفْ فِي خِلَافَتِكَ رَجُلَانِ وَقُتِلْتَ شَهِيدًا» فَقَالَ أَعِدْ فَأَعَادَ فَقَالَ «الْمَغْرُورُ مَنْ غَرَرْتُمُوهُ لَوْ أَنَّ مَا عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِنْ بَيْضَاءَ وَصَفْرَاءَ لَافْتَدَيْتُ بِهِ مِنْ هَوْلِ الْمَطْلَعِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, I perceive that Satan flees from you, O Umar."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَحْسَبُ الشَّيْطَانَ يَفِرُّ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ»  

[Machine] He said, Umar bin Al-Khattab entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while there were women from the Quraysh speaking to him and raising their voices. When they heard Umar's voice, they stopped talking and remained silent. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said, "O Umayyad women, they frighten me but do not frighten the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to Umar, "O Umar, whenever Satan finds a path, except your path, he takes it."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَسَلْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ رَافِعَاتٍ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَ عُمَرَ انْقَمَعْنَ وَسَكَتْنَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا عُدَيَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ تَهَبْنَنِي وَلَا تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عُمَرُ مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ سَالِكًا فَجًّا إِلَّا سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Among the nations, there used to be Muhaddathun (those who were given understanding), and if there were one in my nation, it would be 'Umar bin Al-Khattab." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3693)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي الْأُمَمِ مُحَدَّثُونَ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ فِي أُمَّتِي أَحَدٌ فَهُوَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has placed the truth on the tongue and in the heart of Umar."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ وَقَلْبِهِ»  

I agreed with my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, in three matters - or my Lord agreed with me in three matters, I said: O Messenger of Allah, why don't you take the Maqarn of Ibraheem as a place of prayer? Then Allah revealed the verse: ʿAnd take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibraheem (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibraheem (Abraham) stood while he was building the Ka'bah) as a place of prayerʿ (al Baqarah 2:125). And I said: Why don't you tell the Mothers of the Believers to observe hijab, for both righteous people and evildoers enter upon you? Then the verse of hijab was revealed. And I heard something about the Mothers of the Believers, so I talked to them and told them: You should stop bothering the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , or Allah will replace you with wives who are better than you and are Muslims. Then I came to one of the Mothers of the Believers and she said: O 'Umar, is it the case that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cannot admonish his wives so that you come and admonish them? So I stopped, then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the verse: “It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you Muslims (who submit to Allah), believers, obedient (to Allah)...ʿ [at­-Tahreerm 66:5) (Using translation from Aḥmad 160)   

عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلَاثٍ أَوْ وَافَقَنِي رَبِّي فِي ثَلَاثٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى} وَقُلْتُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَلَوْ حَجَبْتَ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ وَبَلَغَنِي شَيْءٌ مِنْ مُعَامَلَةِ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقُلْتُ لَتَكُفُّنَّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ لَيُبْدِلَنَّهُ اللَّهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَتْ يَا عُمَرُ أَمَا فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَعِظُ نِسَاءَهُ حَتَّى تَعِظَهُنَّ أَنْتَ فَكَفَفْتُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهَ {عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ}  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw Umar ibn al-Khattab wearing a white garment and asked, "Is it new or washed?" Umar replied, "It is new." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Wear new clothes, live a noble life, and die as a martyr."  

رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ ثَوْبًا أَبْيَضَ فَقَالَ «أَجَدِيدٌ قَمِيصُكَ أَمْ غَسِيلٌ؟ » فَقَالَ بَلْ جَدِيدٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْبَسْ جَدِيدًا وَعِشْ حَمِيدًا وَمُتْ شَهِيدًا»  

While I was asleep I saw myself on a well with a leathern bucket on a pulley. I drew (water) out of that as Allah wished me (to draw). Then the son of Abu Quhafa (Abu Bakr) drew from it one bucketful or two and there was some weakness in drawing that (may Allah forgive him). Then that bucket (changed into a large bucket) and Ibn Khattab drew it. I did not see any strongest man drawing it like 'Umar b. Khattab. He brought out so much water that the camels of the people had enough to drink and then laid down (for rest). (Using translation from Muslim 2392a)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ عَلَيْهَا دَلْوٌ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا مِنِّي ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ مِنْهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ضَعْفَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَ الدَّلْوُ غَرْبًا ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ ابْنِ الْخَطَّابِ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I am the first for whom the earth will split, then Abu Bakr, then 'Umar. Then the people of Al-Baqi; they will be gathered with me. Then I will await the people of Makkah until they are resurrected between the Two Sacred areas." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3692)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ ثُمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ آتِي أَهْلَ الْبَقِيعِ فَيُحْشَرُونَ مَعِي ثُمَّ أَنْتَظِرُ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى يُحْشَرُوا بَيْنَ الْحَرَمَيْنِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ deputed me to read the Army of Dhat-as-Salasil. I came to him and said, "Who is the most beloved person to you?" He said, " ʿAisha." I asked, "Among the men?" He said, "Her father." I said, "Who then?" He said, "Then ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab." He then named other men. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3662)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «عَائِشَةُ» قُلْتُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ «أَبُوهَا» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If people obey Abu Bakr and Umar, then they have indeed been guided."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ يُطِعِ النَّاسُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَقَدْ أَرْشَدُوا»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: "I do not see my stay among you to be long, so follow those who come after me. He pointed towards Abu Bakr and Umar and said: "Adhere to the guidance of Ammar, and what Ibn Mas'ood has taught you, accept it."  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي لَا أَرَى بَقَائِي فِيكُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا فَاقْتَدُوا بِالَّذِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَاهْتَدُوا بِهَدْيِ عَمَّارٍ وَمَا حَدَّثَكُمُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَاقْبَلُوهُ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "While a man was driving a cow, it became tired and he rode on it. Then it turned to him and said, 'We were not created for this. We were only created for tilling the land.' People exclaimed, 'Glory be to Allah, glory be to Allah!' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I believe in this, as well as Abu Bakr and Umar.' But it is not a common belief among the people." People then said, 'We believe in what the Prophet ﷺ believes.'"  

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً إِذْ أَعْيَا فَرَكِبَهَا فَالْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ» فَقَالَتْ إِنَّا لَمْ نُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا إِنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا لِحِرَاثَةِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي أُؤْمِنُ بِهَذَا أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ» وَلَيْسَا فِي الْقَوْمِ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ آمَنَّا بِمَا آمَنَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] When it was Monday, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ removed the curtain of the room and saw Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq praying with the people. He said, "I looked at his face, and it was as if it was a page of the Quran, and he was smiling. We almost got distracted in our prayers out of joy of seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Abu Bakr intended to move, but when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him, he stayed in his place. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ opened the curtain and performed his prayer. On the same day, he passed away. Umar ibn Al-Khattab stood up and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but he was sent to him as Moses was sent to him, and he resided among his people for forty nights. By Allah, I hope that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will live until he cuts off the hands of men from the hypocrites and silences their tongues, who claim that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died." Al-Zuhri reported that Anas ibn Malik informed him that he heard the speech of Umar ibn Al-Khattab about the Hereafter when he sat on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day after his death. Umar and Abu Bakr were quiet and did not speak, then Umar said, "As for the yesterday's statement, it was not as I said, and by Allah, I did not find the statement that I said in a book revealed by Allah or in a covenant given to me by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would live until he settles our affairs. If Muhammad ﷺ has indeed died, then Allah has placed among you a light, by which you will be guided. Hold fast to it, and be guided by what Allah has guided Muhammad ﷺ to. And indeed, Abu Bakr, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , is the second of the two. And he is the most deserving among you of your affairs. So pledge allegiance to him. And indeed, a group of them had already pledged allegiance to him in Saqifah Bani Sa'idah. And the pledge of the common people was on the pulpit."  

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُتْرَةَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَرَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وَهُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ فَكِدْنَا أَنْ نَفْتَتِنَ فِي صَلَاتِنَا فَرَحًا بِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ حِينَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «كَمَا أَنْتَ» ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنَّهُ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَمَكَثَ فِي قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُطْبَةَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ الْآخِرَةَ حِينَ جَلَسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَتَشَهَّدَ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ صَامِتٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قُلْتُ أَمْسَ مَقَالَةً وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتُ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ الْمَقَالَةَ الَّتِي قُلْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَلَا فِي عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهِ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَدْبُرَنَا يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرَهُمْ فَإِنْ يَكُ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ نُورًا تَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ فَاعْتَصِمُوا بِهِ تَهْتَدُوا لِمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَثَانِي اثْنَيْنِ وَإِنَّهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِأُمُورِكُمْ فَقُومُوا فَبَايِعُوهُ وَكَانَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ وَكَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ الْعَامَّةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ  

[Machine] During the Prophet's sermon, a caravan arrived in Medina, so the companions of the Messenger of Allah rushed to meet them until only twelve men remained, including Abu Bakr and Umar, and then the verse was revealed.  

«بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ قَدِمَتْ عِيرٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَابْتَدَرَهَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ»
