Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) reports about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he asked his Companions: Who among you is fasting today? Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who among you has visited a sick person?

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Has anyone among you begun this day fasting?" The people remained silent. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, I have. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Has anyone among you visited a sick person today? The people remained silent. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, I have. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Has anyone among you given any charity today? The people remained silent. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, I have. At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, until the smile of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) grew broad. Then he said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, no one but a believer does all these deeds in a single day, and he will enter Paradise because of them."

Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: After offering the Fajr prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards his Companions and asked: Has anyone among you begun this day fasting? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, I had not intended to fast, so I am not fasting today. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: But I did intend to fast, so I am fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Has anyone among you visited a sick person today? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We have only just offered the (Fajr) prayer and have done nothing else yet, so how could we visit the sick? Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was informed that my brother Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was ill, so on my way to the mosque I passed by him to see how he was. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Has anyone among you fed a needy person? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, we have only just offered the (Fajr) prayer and have done nothing else. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When I entered the mosque, there was a beggar asking. I found a piece of bread in the hand of Abd al-Rahman, so I took it from him and gave it to the needy man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Receive the glad tidings of Paradise. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sighed deeply and said: How wonderful is Paradise! Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said a word by which he consoled Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), saying: May Allah Almighty have mercy on Umar, may Allah Almighty have mercy on Umar; whenever he intends some good, Abu Bakr gets to that good before him. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded part of this narration.
