Hadith 64
اُردوEn
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ : قِيلَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : يَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : " بَلْ خَلِيفَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا أَرْضَى بِهِ " .
Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-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."
