Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to the people of Iraq: The one about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, "If I were to take anyone besides Allah as an intimate friend until I meet Allah, I would have taken Abu Bakr as an intimate friend" - he (Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him) used to count the grandfather as having the ruling of a father.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever recites the Qur'an from memory or by looking at it will be given a tree in Paradise such that, if a crow were to hatch a chick beneath one of its leaves, and then that chick grew old and wanted to fly, old age would overtake it before it could cross that leaf (so vast will that tree be)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that al-Aqra' bin Habis came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, appoint him as governor over his people. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, do not appoint him as governor. The two of them kept talking in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until their voices were raised. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): You only wanted to oppose me. He said: I did not intend to oppose you. Upon this, this verse was revealed: "O you who believe, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet" [Surah al-Hujurat: 2]. After that, whenever Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would speak in such a low voice that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had to ask him again.
