[Machine] "What do you say about Abu Bakr?" He said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu Bakr. By Allah, he was a follower of the Quran, a distant and cautious person from desire, unaware of immorality, forbidding evil, knowledgeable of his religion, fearing Allah, avoiding destructive things, standing at night in worship, fasting during the day, detached from worldly matters, determined in upholding justice, commanding good, patient in adversity, grateful in all circumstances, remembering and mentioning Allah in the morning and evening, overpowering his desires for the sake of his soul, surpassing and excelling his companions in piety, moderation, disinterest in worldly possessions, chastity, righteousness, vigilance, renunciation, self-sufficiency. So, Allah rewarded him with those who praised and spoke well of him, until the Day of Resurrection."
