"Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his fatal illness came out with a piece of cloth tied round his head and sat on the pulpit. After thanking and praising Allah he said, "There is no one who had done more favor to me with life and property than Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafa. If I were to take a Khalil, I would certainly have taken Abu- Bakr but the Islamic brotherhood is superior. Close all the small doors in this mosque except that of Abu Bakr."  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ عَاصِبٌ رَأْسَهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَمَنَّ عَلَىَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنَ النَّاسِ خَلِيلاً لاَتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلاً وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الإِسْلاَمِ أَفْضَلُ سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

(Using translation from Bukhārī 467)  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ فِي خِرْقَةٍ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَمَنَّ عَلَيَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنَ النَّاسِ خَلِيلًا لاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الْإِسْلامِ أَفْضَلُ سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

[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»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out during his illness with his head wrapped in a cloth. He sat on the pulpit, praised and glorified Allah, then said, "There is no one who I trust with myself and my wealth more than Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafa. If I were to take a close friend from among the people, I would have chosen Abu Bakr. However, the companionship of Islam is the best." Then he said, "There is not a single date palm tree in the mosque except the one planted by Abu Bakr."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَهُوَ عَاصِبٌ رَأْسَهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَمَنُّ عَلِيَّ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنَ النَّاسِ خَلِيلًا لاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَا تَبْقَى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَوْخَةٌ إِلَّا سُدَّتْ إِلَّا خَوْخَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ»  

"إِنَّه ليْسَ من النَّاس أحدٌ أَمَنَّ علىَّ في نفسَه ومالِه من أَبى بكر بِن أَبى قحافة، ولو كنتُ متخذًا من النَّاسِ خليلًا لاتخذْتُ أبا بكرٍ خليلًا ولكنْ خُلَّةُ الإسلامِ أفْضلُ، سُدُّوا عنِّى كُلَّ خَوْخَة في هذا المسجد غير خَوْخَةِ أبى بكر ".
