اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ ، فَقَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَيَّرَ عَبْدًا بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَهُ " ، قَالَ : " فَاخْتَارَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ ، فَعَجِبْنَا لِبُكَائِهِ أَنْ خَبَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ عَبْدٍ خُيِّرَ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُخَيَّرَ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمَنَا بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ أَمَنَّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنَ النَّاسِ خَلِيلًا غَيْرَ رَبِّي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْ مَوَدَّتُهُ ، لَا يَبْقَى بَابٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا سُدَّ إِلَّا بَابَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ " .
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people and said: Allah Almighty gave one of His servants the choice between the world and coming to Him, and that servant chose to go to Allah. Upon hearing this, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep. We were greatly surprised at his weeping, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had merely informed about a man; what was there to cry about? But later it became clear that by "servant" the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant himself, and it became evident that Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) was the most knowledgeable among us. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In terms of companionship and financial support, the person who has done the greatest favors to me among the people is Abu Bakr. If I were to take anyone as a close friend (khalil) other than my Lord, I would have taken Abu Bakr, but Islamic brotherhood and affection are sufficient. And except for Abu Bakr's door, all other doors opening into the mosque should be closed. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
