Hadith 59
اُردوEn
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ : قِيلَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : يَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَنَا خَلِيفَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا رَاضٍ بِهِ " .
Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was addressed as "O Caliph of Allah," so he said: I am not the Caliph of Allah, rather I am the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah, and I am content with that rank.
