The embracing of Islam by Abu Bakr (RAA) benefitted Muslims immensely as many celebrities followed this great scholar's lead, such as Abdul Rahman ibn Auf, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas, 'Uthmân ibn Affân, az-Zubair ibn al-Awwâm, and Talha ibn 'Ubeidu-Allah. On the day he embraced Islam, he had forty thousand dirhams which he spent in the way of Allah.
Ash-Shu'abi, (may Allah have mercy on him), said, "Allah Almighty has singled out Abu Bakr with (the following) four characteristics that no one else had.
He, the Almighty, has called him As-Siddîq and no one other than him was named that.
He was the companion of the Messenger of Allah (s) in the cave (during the migration journey).
He was his companion in the migration journey.
'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "One day, the Messenger of Allah, (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), commanded us to give charity. I had some property, so I said, 'Today I shall surpass Abu Bakr if I surpass him any day.' I, therefore, brought half of my property. The Messenger of Allah, (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), asked, 'What have you left for your family?' I replied, 'The same amount.' Abu Bakr brought all that he had with him. The Messenger of Allah asked him, 'What have you left for your family?' He replied, 'I have left Allah and His Messenger for them.' I said, 'I shall never compete with him in anything.'" [Reported by Abu Dawud 1678 and at-Tirmidhi 3675.
If you help him (Muhammad SAW) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of two, when they (Muhammad SAW and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, and he (SAW) said to his companion (Abu Bakr): "Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us." Then Allah sent down His Sakeenah (calmness, tranquillity, peace, etc.) upon him, and strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while it was the Word of Allah that became the uppermost, and Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
The following are some of the hadith of the prophet (s) where he (s) praised Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq.
In conclusion, let's ensure that we love Abu Bakr (RAA) and all the Guided Caliphs and the companions.
