Umm Sa'd bint Sa'd bin al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that she came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and he spread out his garment for her until she sat on it. Meanwhile Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came in to him and asked: "O Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah, who is this?" He said: "This is the daughter of a man who was better than me and you." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Who could be better than the two of us except the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "A man who was taken in his (peace and blessings be upon him) time and has taken his place in Paradise, while I and you have remained behind."
