Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34135 — Reports on Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

Al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was quoting this verse of poetry while Abu Bakr was in his dying moments: "And the white-faced one, through whose face rain is sought from the clouds, the helper of orphans and the protector of widows." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
