Abu’l-Qasim al-Baghawi narrated that Ibn Abi Mulaykah said: Abu bakr was asked about an ayah and he said, ‘What land would hold me or what sky would shade me if I were to say about an ayah of the Book of Allah that which Allah did not wish?’ Abu cUbaydah narrated that Ibrahim at-Taymi said: Abu Bakr was asked about His words, exalted is He, And fruits and herbage,’ (Qur’an 80: 31) and he said, ‘Which sky would shade me and what land would sustain me if I were to say about the Book of Allah that which I do not know?’ Al-Bayhaqi and others narrated that Abu Bakr was asked about al-Kalalah and he said, ‘I will say my view on it and if it is correct it is from Allah, and if it is wrong it is from me and from shaytan.

"Ina ganin shi ne wanda ba shi da ɗa ko iyaye (da ke raye don su gāji shi)." Lokacin da aka naɗa ʿUmar a matsayin khalifa, ya ce: "Ina jin kunya in ƙi wani abu da Abu Bakr ya faɗa." Abu Nu'aym ya ruwaito a cikin al-Hilyah cewa al-Aswad ibn Hilal ya ce:

I think that it is the one who has no child nor parent (surviving to inherit from him).’ When cUmar was appointed khalifah he said, ‘I am shy of rejecting something which Abu Bakr said.’ Abu Nucaym narrated in al-Hilyah that al-Aswad ibn Hilal said:

Saboda mai hankali yana fahimtar girman Mahalicci daga kallonsa ga halitta. Allah ne ya fi sani.

8 Since the intelligent man derives from his glance at the creation, the greatness of the Creator. And Allah knows best.

Abu Bakr ya ce wa sahabbansa, "Me kuke cewa game da ayoyin nan biyu, 'Lalle ne, waɗanda suka ce, "Ubangijinmu shi ne Allah", sannan suka daidaita, ...' (Alƙur'ani 41: 30) da kuma 'Waɗanda suka yi imani kuma ba su gauraya imaninsu da zalunci ba ...'? (Alƙur'ani 6: 82)." Suka ce, "To, suna daidaita kuma ba sa aikata munanan ayyuka, kuma ba sa gauraya imaninsu da kuskure." Ya ce, "Kun sa ya ɗauki ma'anar da ba zai iya ɗauka ba." Sannan ya ce, "Suna cewa, 'Ubangijinmu shi ne Allah,' sannan suka daidaita, don haka ba sa karkata zuwa ga wani ubangiji banda Shi, kuma ba sa gauraya imaninsu da shirka (haɗa wasu da Shi)." Ibn Jarir ya ruwaito cewa 'Amir ibn Sa'd al-Bajali ya ba da labari daga Abu Bakr as-Siddiq game da maganarSa, madaukaki ne Shi, "Ga waɗanda suka yi kyautatawa akwai mafi kyau da ƙari" (Alƙur'ani 10: 26), cewa ya ce, "Kallon fuskar Allah, madaukaki ne Shi." Ibn Jarir ya ruwaito cewa Abu Bakr ya ce game da maganarSa, madaukaki ne Shi, "Lalle ne, waɗanda suka ce, 'Ubangijinmu shi ne Allah,' sannan suka daidaita, ..." (Alƙur'ani 41: 30), cewa ya ce, "Mutane sun faɗa shi. Saboda haka duk wanda ya mutu a kan hakan yana cikin waɗanda suka daidaita."

Abu Bakr said to his companions, ‘What do you say about these two ay at, “Truly, the ones who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah’, and then go straight, ...” (Qur’an 41: 30) and “And the ones who believe and do not clothe their belief in wrongdoing ...”? (Qur’an 6: 82).’ They said, ‘Then they go straight and do not do wrong actions and do not clothe their belief in error.’ He said, ‘You have made it to carry a meaning which it cannot carry.’ Then he said, ‘They say, “Our Lord is Allah,” and then they go straight, so they do not incline towards a god other than Him and do not clothe their belief in shirk (associating others as partners with Him).” Ibn Jarir narrated that cAmir ibn Sacd al-Bajili related from Abu Bakr as-Siddiq about His words, exalted is He, ‘For the ones who do excellently well there is the very best and morel (Qur’an 10: 26) that he said, ‘Gazing on the face of Allah, exalted is He.’ Ibn Jarir narrated that Abu Bakr said about His words, exalted is He, ‘Truly the ones who say, “Our Lord is Allah,” and then go straight, ...’ (Qur’an 41: 30), that he said, ‘People have said it. So whoever dies upon that is of those who go straight.’
