Kedua Syaikh meriwayatkan bahwa Abu Hurairah, semoga Allah meridhainya, berkata: Aku mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Ketika seorang penggembala berada di tengah kawanan dombanya, seekor serigala menyerbunya dan membawa pergi seekor domba darinya, lalu penggembala itu mengejarnya. Serigala itu berbalik kepadanya dan berkata, 'Siapa yang akan menjaganya pada Hari Kebangkitan, hari ketika tidak ada penggembala selain aku?' Dan ketika seorang laki-laki sedang menggiring seekor sapi yang membawa beban, sapi itu berbalik kepadanya dan berkata, 'Aku tidak diciptakan untuk ini, tetapi aku diciptakan untuk membajak sawah.'" Orang-orang pun berkata, "Subhanallah, sapi bisa berbicara?" Maka Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Aku percaya hal itu, begitu pula Abu Bakar dan Umar." Padahal Abu Bakar dan Umar tidak hadir saat itu, yakni mereka tidak berada dalam majelis tersebut. Beliau ﷺ bersaksi atas keimanan mereka terhadap hal itu, mungkin yang dimaksud adalah kesempurnaan iman mereka.

I he two Shaykhs narrated that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ‘While a shepherd was in the middle of his flock, a wolf rushed upon it and carried off from it a sheep and the shepherd pursued it. The wolf turned to him and said, “Who will look after it on the Day of Rising, the day when there will be no other shepherd than me?” And as a man was driving an ox which he had laden it turned to him and said, “I was not created for this, but I was created for tillage,”’ and the people said, ‘Glory be to Allah, that an ox should talk?’ The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I believe in that and Abu Bakr and cUmar (believe),’ and Abu Bakr and cUmar weren’t there at that time, i.e. they weren’t in the gathering. He bore witness to their belief in that, perhaps meaning the perfection of their belief.

Di-riwayatkan oleh At-Tirmidzi bahwa Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Tidaklah ada seorang nabi pun melainkan ia memiliki dua wakil dari penduduk langit dan dua wakil dari penduduk bumi. Adapun dua wakilku dari penduduk langit adalah Jibril dan Mika'il, dan adapun dua wakilku dari penduduk bumi adalah Abu Bakar dan Umar." Para penulis kitab-kitab Sunan dan lainnya meriwayatkan bahwa Sa'id bin Zaid berkata: Aku mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Abu Bakar di Surga, Umar di Surga, Utsman di Surga, Ali di Surga, ..." lalu beliau menyebutkan seluruh sepuluh orang (yang dijanjikan surga).

At-Tirmidhi narrated that Abu Sacid al-Khudri said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘There has been no prophet but that he had two deputies from the people of heaven and two deputies from the people of earth. As for my two deputies from the people of heaven, they are Jibril and Mika’il, and as for my two deputies from the people of earth they are Abu Bakr and cUmar.’ The authors of the Sunan collections and others narrated that Sacid ibn Zaid said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying, ‘Abu Bakr is in the Garden, cUmar is in the Garden, cUthman is in the Garden, cAli is in the Garden, ...’ and he mentioned all of the ten (who were promised the Garden).

At-Tirmidzi meriwayatkan bahwa Abu Sa'id berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Orang-orang yang berada di derajat tertinggi, mereka yang berada di bawah mereka akan melihat mereka sebagaimana kalian melihat bintang yang terbit di ufuk langit, dan Abu Bakar serta Umar termasuk di antara mereka." At-Tabarani juga meriwayatkannya dalam hadis dari Jabir bin Samurah dan Abu Hurairah.

At-Tirmidhi narrated that Abu Sacid said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘The ones of the highest ranks, those beneath them will see them as you see the stars rising over the horizon of the sky, and Abu Bakr and cUmar are among them.’ At-Tabarani also recorded it in hadith of Jabir ibn Samurah and Abu Hurayrah.

Imam At-Tirmidzi meriwayatkan bahwa Anas berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ biasa keluar menemui para sahabatnya dari kalangan Muhajirin dan Anshar yang sedang duduk. Di antara mereka ada Abu Bakar dan Umar. Tidak ada seorang pun di antara mereka yang berani mengangkat pandangannya kepada beliau ﷺ kecuali Abu Bakar dan Umar. Mereka memandang beliau ﷺ, dan beliau ﷺ pun memandang mereka, lalu mereka tersenyum kepada beliau ﷺ, dan beliau ﷺ pun tersenyum kepada mereka.

At-Tirmidhi narrated that Anas said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to come out to his i ompanions of the Muhajirun and the Ansar while they were sitting, ttnlong them Abu Bakr and cUmar, and none of them would lift thci r eyes to him except for Abu Bakr and cUmar. They used to gaze upon him and he would gaze upon them and they would smile at him and he would smile at them.

At-Tirmidzi dan al-Hakim meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu 'Umar berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ keluar pada suatu hari lalu masuk ke masjid bersama Abu Bakr dan 'Umar, yang seorang berada di sebelah kanan beliau dan yang lain di sebelah kiri beliau, sementara beliau memegang tangan keduanya. Beliau bersabda, "Seperti inilah kita akan dibangkitkan pada Hari Kebangkitan." Ath-Thabarani juga meriwayatkannya dalam al-Awsath dari Abu Hurairah.

At-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim narrated that Ibn cUmar said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out one day and entered the mosque, with Abu Bakr and cUmar, one on his right hand side and the other on his left hand side, he holding their hands. He said, ‘Like this we will be raised up on the Day of Rising.’ At-Tabarani also recorded it in al-Awsat from Abu Hurayrah.

At-Tirmidzi dan al-Hakim meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu 'Umar berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Aku adalah orang pertama yang bumi terbelah untuknya, kemudian Abu Bakar dan 'Umar." At-Tirmidzi dan al-Hakim, yang menilainya sahih, meriwayatkan bahwa 'Abdullah bin Hantab berkata bahwa Nabi ﷺ melihat Abu Bakar dan 'Umar lalu bersabda, "Keduanya ini adalah pendengaran dan penglihatan." At-Tabarani juga merekamnya dari hadis Ibnu 'Umar dan Ibnu 'Amr.

At-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim narrated that Ibn cUmar said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, laid, ‘I will be the first over whom the earth will split open, then Abu Bakr and cUmar.’ At-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim, and he declared it sahih, narrated that 'Abdullah ibn Hantab said that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw Abu Bakr and cUmar and said, ‘These t wo are hearing and sight.’ At-Tabarani also recorded it from hadith of Ibn cUmar and Ibn cAmr.

Al-Bazzar dan al-Hakim meriwayatkan bahwa Abu Arwa ad-Dawsi berkata:

Al-Bazzar and al-Hakim narrated that Abu Arwa ad-Dawsi said:

Saya sedang bersama Nabi ﷺ (dalam keadaan duduk), lalu Abu Bakar dan Umar datang, maka beliau bersabda, "Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah menolongku melalui kalian berdua." Hadis ini juga diriwayatkan dalam hadis al-Bara' bin 'Azib, yang dicatat oleh at-Tabarani dalam al-Awsat.

I was with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, (seated) and then Abu Bakr and cUmar came up, so he said, ‘Praise belongs to Allah Who has helped me through you two.’ It has been t ransmitted also in a hadith of al-Bara’ ibn cAzib, which at-Tabarani recorded in al-Awsat.

Abu Ya'la meriwayatkan dari 'Ammar bin Yasir, ia berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Jibril datang kepadaku sebelumnya, lalu aku berkata, 'Wahai Jibril, ceritakanlah kepadaku keutamaan 'Umar bin al-Khattab.' Ia berkata, 'Sekalipun aku menceritakan keutamaan-keutamaannya selama Nuh tinggal di tengah kaumnya, keutamaan 'Umar tidak akan habis, dan sesungguhnya 'Umar adalah salah satu amal baik Abu Bakar.'" Ahmad meriwayatkan dari 'Abdurrahman bin Ghanam, bahwa Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda kepada Abu Bakar dan 'Umar, "Jika kalian berdua bersepakat atas suatu pendapat, niscaya aku tidak akan menentang kalian." At-Tabarani juga meriwayatkannya dari hadits al-Bara' bin 'Azib.

Abu Yacla narrated that cAmmar ibn Yasir said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Jibril came to me previously and I said, “O Jibril, tell me of the merits of cUmar ibn al-Khattab.” He said, “Even if I were to tell you his merits for the length of time that Nuh remained among his people the merits of 'Umar would not be exhausted, and truly cUmar is one of the good actions of Abu Bakr.’” Ahmad narrated that cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Ghanam said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Abu Bakr and cUmar, ‘If you two were to agree on a counsel I would not oppose you.’ At-Tabarani also recorded it from a hadith of al-Bara’ ibn cAzib.

Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu 'Umar pernah ditanya, "Siapakah yang memberi fatwa pada masa Rasulullah ﷺ?" Ia menjawab, "Abu Bakar dan 'Umar, dan aku tidak mengetahui selain keduanya." Ia juga meriwayatkan bahwa al-Qasim bin Muhammad berkata: Abu Bakar, 'Umar, 'Utsman, dan 'Ali biasa memberi fatwa pada masa Rasulullah ﷺ.

Ibn Sacd narrated that Ibn cUmar was asked, ‘Who used to give fatwa in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?’ He said, ‘Abu Bakr and cUmar and I know of no others apart from them.’ He narrated that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad said: Abu Bakr, cUmar, cUthman and cAli used to give fatwa in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

At-Tabarani meriwayatkan dari Ibnu Mas'ud, semoga Allah meridainya, bahwa ia berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Sesungguhnya setiap nabi memiliki orang pilihan dari umatnya, dan orang pilihanku dari umatku adalah Abu Bakar dan Umar." Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan dari 'Ali, ia berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Semoga Allah merahmati Abu Bakar. Ia menikahkan aku dengan putrinya, ia membawaku ke negeri hijrah, dan ia memerdekakan Bilal. Semoga Allah merahmati Umar. Ia mengatakan kebenaran walaupun pahit. Kebenaran telah membuatnya tidak memiliki teman. Semoga Allah merahmati Utsman. Para malaikat merasa malu kepadanya. Semoga Allah merahmati 'Ali. Ya Allah, jadikanlah kebenaran berputar bersamanya ke mana pun ia berputar." At-Tabarani meriwayatkan dari Sahl, semoga Allah meridainya, ia berkata: Ketika Nabi ﷺ kembali dari Haji Wada', beliau naik ke mimbar, memuji Allah, lalu bersabda, "Wahai manusia, Abu Bakar tidak pernah menyakitiku, maka ketahuilah hal itu tentangnya. Wahai manusia, aku ridha kepadanya, dan kepada Umar, Utsman, 'Ali, Talhah, az-Zubair, Sa'd, 'Abdurrahman bin 'Auf, dan kaum Muhajirin yang pertama, maka ketahuilah hal itu tentang mereka." 'Abdullah bin Ahmad [Ibnu Hanbal] meriwayatkan dalam Zawa'id az-Zuhd bahwa Ibnu Abi Hazim berkata: Seorang laki-laki datang kepada 'Ali bin al-Husain dan berkata, "Bagaimana kedudukan Abu Bakar dan Umar di sisi Rasulullah ﷺ?" Ia menjawab, "Sama seperti kedudukan mereka di sisinya saat ini juga." (Mereka dimakamkan tepat di samping Nabi ﷺ.)

At-Tabarani narrated that Ibn Mascud, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Truly, every prophet has an elect from his ummah and my elect from my ummah are Abu Bakr and cUmar.’ Ibn cAsakir narrated that cAli said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘May Allah show mercy to Abu Bakr. He wed me his daughter, and he carried me to the abode of the Hijrah, and he set Bilal free. May Allah show mercy to cUmar. He says the truth even if it is bitter. The truth has left him without a friend. May Allah show mercy to cUthman. The angels are shy of him. May Allah show mercy to cAli. O Allah, make the truth turn with him wherever he turns.’ At-Tabarani narrated that Sahl, may Allah be pleased with him, said: When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came back from the Farewell Hajj, he ascended the minbar and praised Allah, then said, ‘People, Abu Bakr has never harmed me, so know that about him. People, I am pleased with him, and with cUmar, cUthman, cAli, Talhah, az-Zubayr, Sacd, cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf, and the first emigrants (;muhajirun), so know that of them.’ cAbdullah ibn Ahmad [Ibn Hanbal] narrated in Zawa’id az-Zuhd that Ibn Abi Hazim said: A man came to cAli ibn al-Hussein and said, ‘What was the position of Abu Bakr and cUmar with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?’ I Ic said, ‘Just like their position with respect to him this very hour.’ ( I hey are buried right beside the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace).

Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkan bahwa Bistam bin Muslim berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda kepada Abu Bakar dan Umar, "Tidak ada seorang pun yang akan memegang kekuasaan atas kalian setelah aku." Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahwa Anas menuturkan, sebagai hadis marfu', "Mencintai Abu Bakar dan Umar adalah iman, dan membenci keduanya adalah kufur." Ia juga meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu Mas'ud berkata: Mencintai Abu Bakar dan Umar serta mengenal keduanya termasuk (bagian dari) Sunnah.

Ibn Sacd narrated that Bistam ibn Muslim said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Abu Bakr and cUmar, ‘No-one shall have command over you after me.’ Ibn cAsakir narrated that Anas related, as a marfuc hadith, ‘Love of Abu Bakr and cUmar is iman (belief) and hatred of them is kufr (disbelief).’ He narrated that Ibn Mascud said: Love of Abu Bakr and cUmar and a knowledge of them is (a part) of the Sunnah.

Dan ia meriwayatkan bahwa Anas menyampaikan secara marfu', "Aku berharap bagi umatku, dalam kecintaan mereka kepada Abu Bakar dan 'Umar, apa yang aku harapkan bagi mereka dalam ucapan, 'Tiada tuhan selain Allah.'" ﷺ

And he narrated that Anas related as a marfuf, ‘I hope for my ummah in their love for Abu Bakr and cUmar what I hope for them in the saying, “No god but Allah.’”
