Ibn ʿAsākir ya ruwaito cewa Anisah ta ce: Abu Bakr ya zauna a cikinmu tsawon shekara uku kafin a naɗa shi halifa, da kuma shekara guda bayan haka, kuma baiwar gari suna zuwa wajensa da garkensu, shi kuma yana musu kiwo (yana hallarar musu madara).

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Anisah said: Abu Bakr was settled among us for three years before he was appointed khalifah and a year afterwards, and the servant girls of the quarter would come to him with their flocks and he would milk them for them.

Ahmad ya ruwaito a cikin az-Zuhd cewa Maymun ibn Mihran ya ce: Wani mutum ya zo wurin Abu Bakr ya ce, ‘Assalamu alaika (aminci ya tabbata a gare ka, a cikin sigar mutum ɗaya) ya Khalifan Manzon Allah ﷺ.’ Sai ya ce, ‘Cikin dukkan waɗannan.’ (Mutumin ya gaishe shi ne kawai daga cikin waɗanda suke wurin).

Ahmad narratd in az-Zuhd that Maymun ibn Mihran said: A man came to Abu Bakr and said, ‘Peace be upon you (as-salamu alaika -the singular form of address) Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah.’ And he said, ‘In among all of these.’ (The man had greeted him exclusively of those present).

Abu Salih al-Ghifari ya ce cUmar ibn al-Khattab yana kula da wata tsohuwa makauniya a wani yanki na kewayen Madina da dare. Yana zuba mata ruwan sha, kuma yana yi mata ayyukanta. Wani lokaci idan ya je wurinta sai ya tarar cewa wani ya riga shi zuwa gare ta ya yi mata abin da take so. Ya je wurinta fiye da sau daya domin kada wancan ya riga shi zuwa gare ta. cUmar ya yi kwanto domin ya kama shi, sai ya zama Abu Bakr ne ya zo wurinta, kuma a lokacin shi ne halifa. cUmar ya ce, "Kai ne, na rantse da raina!" Abu Nucaym da wasu sun ruwaito cewa cAbd ar-Rahman al-Asbahani ya ce: Al-Hasan ibn cAli ya zo wurin Abu Bakr yana kan minbarin Manzon Allah ﷺ, sai ya ce, "Ka sauko daga wurin zaman mahaifina." Sai ya ce, "Ka fadi gaskiya, wurin zaman mahaifinka ne," ya dauke shi ya zaunar a cinyarsa, sannan ya yi kuka.

Abu Salih al-Ghifari said that cUmar ibn al-Khattab used to take care of an elderly blind woman in one of the outskirts of Madinah at night. He would draw water for her to drink, and would undertake her business. Sometimes when he came to her he would find that someone else had already beaten him to her and done what she wanted. He came to her more than one time so that the other might not beat him to her. cUmar lay in wait for him, and it was Abu Bakr who had come to her, and he was at that time khalifah. cUmar said, ‘You are he, by my life!’ Abu Nucaym and others narrated that cAbd ar-Rahman al-Asbahani said: Al-Hasan ibn cAli came to Abu Bakr when he was upon the minbar of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, ‘Come down from my father’s seat.’ He said, ‘You have told the truth, it is your father’s seat,’ and he placed him in his lap and wept.

‘Aliyu ya ce, ‘Wallahi, wannan ba daga umurnina yake ba.’ Ya ce, ‘Ka faɗi gaskiya. Wallahi, ban yi zaton ka ba.’

'Ali said, ‘By Allah, this was not from my command.’ He said, ‘You have told the truth. By Allah, I did not suspect you.’

Ibn Sa'd ya ruwaito cewa Ibn Umar ya ce: Manzon Allah ﷺ ya naɗa Abu Bakr ya jagoranci aikin Hajji a Hajjin farko na Musulunci, sannan Manzon Allah ﷺ ya yi Hajji shekara mai biye. Lokacin da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya rasu, Abu Bakr kuma aka naɗa shi halifa, sai ya sa Umar ya jagoranci aikin Hajji, sannan Abu Bakr ya yi Hajji shekara mai biye. Lokacin da Abu Bakr ya rasu aka naɗa Umar halifa, sai ya sa Abdur-Rahman ibn Auf ya jagoranci aikin Hajji, sannan Umar ya ci gaba da yin Hajji kowace shekara har ya rasu. Bayan haka aka naɗa Uthman halifa, sai ya sa Abdur-Rahman ibn Auf ya jagoranci aikin Hajji.

Ibn Sacd narrated that Ibn cUmar said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, appointed Abu Bakr to lead the Hajj in the first Hajj of Islam, then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, performed the Hajj the following year. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died and Abu Bakr was appointed khalifah, he put cUmar in charge of leading the Hajj, then Abu Bakr performed the Hajj the following year. When Abu Bakr died and cUmar was appointed khalifah, he put cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf in charge of the Hajj, then cUmar continued to perform the Hajj every year until he died. cUthman was then appointed khalifah, and he put cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf in charge of the Hajj.
