Hadith 1540
1540 صحيح حديث أَبِي بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا فِي الْغَارِ، لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ لأَبْصَرَنَا فَقَالَ: مَا ظَنُّكَ، يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when we were hiding in the Cave of Thawr, I said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that if any of the polytheists looked down at his feet, he would surely see us. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Bakr! What can you say about two persons with whom the third is Allah, the Exalted?
Hadith 1541
1541 صحيح حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ عَبْدًا خَيَّرَهُ اللهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ زَهْرَهِ الدُّنْيَا مَا شَاءَ، وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَاخْتَارَ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَقَالَ: فَدَيْنَاكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ وَقَالَ النَّاسُ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى هذَا الشَّيْخِ، يُخْبِرُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنْ عَبْدٍ خَيَّرَهُ اللهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: فَدَيْنَاكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ الْمُخَيّرَ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هُوَ أَعْلَمَنَا بِه وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ مِنْ أَمَنِّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلاً مِنْ أُمَّتِي لاَتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، إِلاَّ خُلَّةَ الإِسْلاَمِ لا يَبْقَيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِد خَوْخَةٌ إِلاَّ خَوْخَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ
Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting on the pulpit, then he said: "Allah Almighty gave one of His righteous servants the choice that he could choose for himself whatever he wished from the blessings of this world, or he could choose what is with Allah (in the Hereafter)." That servant chose what is with Allah Almighty. Upon this, Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said, "May our parents be sacrificed for you (O Messenger of Allah)!" (Hazrat Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) says) We were surprised at Hazrat Abu Bakr's (may Allah be pleased with him) weeping. Some people said, "Look at this elder; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is only informing about a servant whom Allah Almighty gave the choice between the blessings of this world and what is with Allah, and he is saying, 'May our parents be sacrificed for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!'" But it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself who was given the choice between these two things, and Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was the most knowledgeable among us about this matter. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the people, the one who has favored me the most with his companionship and wealth is Abu Bakr. If I were to take anyone from my Ummah as a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), but the Islamic brotherhood is sufficient. No door in the mosque should remain open except the door that opens towards the house of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)."

1542 صحيح حديث عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَعَثَهُ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلاَسِلِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ: عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ: مِنَ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ: أَبُوهَا، قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ: ثُمَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَعَدَّ رِجَالاً
Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him for the expedition of Dhat-us-Salasil. (Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that) then I came to the Prophet and asked, "Who do you love the most?" He replied, "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)." I asked, "And among the men?" He replied, "Her father." I asked, "Then who?" He replied, "Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)." In this way, he mentioned the names of several men. ()
Hadith 1543
1543 صحيح حديث جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمِ، قَالَ: أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِع إِلَيْهِ قَالَتْ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَقولُ: الْمَوْتَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ: إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِيني فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ
Hazrat Jubair bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a woman came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said to her, "Come again." She said, "If I come and do not find you?" as if she was referring to his death. He said, "If you do not find me, then go to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)."
Hadith 1544
1544 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً إِذْ رَكِبهَا فَضَرَبَهَا فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّا لَمْ نُخْلَقْ لِهذَا؛ إِنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا لِلْحَرْثِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ بَقَرَةٌ تَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِهذَا، أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمَا هُمَا ثَمَّ وَبَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ فِي غَنَمِهِ إِذْ عَدَا الذِّئْبُ فَذَهَبَ مِنْهَا بَشَاةٍ، فَطَلَبَ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ اسْتَنْقَذَهَا مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الذِّئْبُ: هذَا، اسْتَنْقَذْتَهَا مِنِّي، فَمَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ، يَوْمَ لاَ رَاعِيَ لَهَا غَيْرِي فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ذِئْبٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِهذَا أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمَا هُمَا ثَمَّ
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the morning prayer, then turned towards the people and said: A man (from the Children of Israel) was driving his cow, when he mounted it and struck it. The cow (by Allah’s power) said: We animals have not been created for riding. Our creation is for plowing the fields. The people said: Glory be to Allah! A cow speaks? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I believe in this, and so do Abu Bakr and Umar. Even though both of them were not present there. In the same way, a man was grazing his sheep when a wolf came and carried off a sheep from the flock. The shepherd ran and rescued the sheep from the wolf. Upon this, the wolf (by Allah’s power) said: Today you have rescued it from me, but on the day of the beasts (near the Day of Judgment), who will protect it from me, when there will be no shepherd for it except me? The people said: Glory be to Allah! A wolf speaks? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I believe in this, and so do Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). Even though both of them were not present there at that time.
