[Machine] What do you say about Abu Bakr, Umar? Umar said: May Allah have mercy on Abu Bakr. By Allah, he was a follower of the Quran, distant from deviance, abstinent from indecency, forbidding evil, knowledgeable about the religion, fearful of Allah, avoiding destruction, standing in prayer at night, fasting during the day, safe from worldly temptations, adhering to the justice of creation, commanding good, patient with hardships, grateful in all circumstances, remembering Allah in the morning and evening, conquering his desires for his own sake, surpassing and excelling his companions in righteousness, self-sufficiency, detachment from worldly possessions, modesty, chastity, righteousness, protection, asceticism, contentment, and sufficiency. So Allah followed with disgrace whoever smeared him with slander until the Day of Judgment.  

لَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي أَبِي بَكْرٍ؟ قَالَ رَحِمَ اللهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ وَاللهِ لِلْقُرْآنِ تالِيًا وَعَنِ الْمَيْلِ نَائِيًا وَعَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ سَاهِيًا وَعَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ناهِيًا وَبِدِينِهِ عارِفًا وَمِنَ اللهِ خَائِفًا وَعَنِ الْمُهْلِكَاتِ جَانِفًا وَبِاللَّيْلِ قَائِمًا وَبِالنَّهَارِ صَائِمًا وَمِنْ دُنْيَاهُ سَالِمًا وَعَلَى عَدْلِ الْبَرِيَّةِ عازِمًا وَبِالْمَعْرُوفِ آمِرًا وَإِلَيْهِ صَابِرًا وَفِي الْأَحْوَالِ شَاكِرًا وَلِلَّهِ فِي الْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ ذَاكِرًا وَلِنَفْسِهِ بِالْمَصَالِحِ قاهِرًا فَاقَ وَرَاقَ أَصْحَابَهُ وَرَعًا وَكَفَافًا وَزُهْدًا وَعَفَافًا وَبِرًّا وَحِيَاطَةً وَزَهَادَةً وَكِفَايَةً فَأَعْقَبَ اللهُ مَنْ ثَلَبَهُ اللَّعَائِنَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
