Hadith Commentary:

Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) placed his mouth on the forehead of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and kissed him, then, weeping, said:
“May my parents be sacrificed for you! You are pure in both life and death.”

In another narration, it is mentioned that Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and touched him, so the people said:
“O companion of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Has the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away?” Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) replied:
“Yes, he has passed away.”
