(The reason for naming Hazrat Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, as Atiq)
Mishkat al-Masabih 6031 — The reason for naming Hazrat Abu Bakr, may
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَنْت عتيقُ اللَّهِ من النَّار» . فَيَوْمئِذٍ سمي عتيقا. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
`A'isha told that Abu Bakr came in to visit God's messenger who said, "You are God's freedman (atiq) from hell," so on that day he was named `Atiq. Tirmidhi transmitted it.
