"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

[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»

"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 ".
