Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Who has observed fast among you today? Abu Bakr (RA) replied: It is I. He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) again) said: Who among you followed the bier today? Abu Bakr (RA) replied: It is I. He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) again) said: Who among you led a poor man today? Abu Bakr (RA) (Allah he pleased with him) replied: It is I. He (again) said: Who among you visited an invalid today? Abu Bakr (RA) said: It is I. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Anyone in whom (these good deeds) are combined will certainly, enter paradise.

Benefits and Issues:
In the heart of Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu, there was an abundant passion for performing every good deed and every act of virtue and goodness. Therefore, regarding whichever good deed the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam inquired about, Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu had already carried it out.
