Musnad of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 44 — Musnad of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَوْسَطَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَنَةٍ ، فَأَلْفَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ ، فَقَالَ : قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ ، فَخَنَقَتْهُ الْعَبْرَةُ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْتَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ يَقِينٍ بَعْدَ مُعَافَاةٍ ، وَلَا أَشَدَّ مِنْ رِيبَةٍ بَعْدَ كُفْرٍ ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ ، وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ ، وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ " .
Awsat says that one year after the passing of the Prophet (peace be upon him), I came to Madinah Munawwarah, and I found Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon to the people. He said: At this very place, last year, the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood among us to deliver a sermon. Saying this, he began to weep, and this happened three times. Then he said: O people! Seek forgiveness from Allah, for after faith, no one has been given a blessing greater than well-being. Likewise, after disbelief, no one has been given anything worse than doubt. Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness is associated with righteousness, and both of these will be in Paradise. Protect yourselves from lying, for lying is associated with sin, and both of these will be in Hell.
