Al-Bazzar meriwayatkan dalam Musnadnya bahwa ʿAli berkata, "Beritahu aku, siapakah orang yang paling pemberani di antara manusia?" Mereka menjawab, "Engkau." Ia berkata, "Adapun aku, tidaklah aku bertemu dengan seseorang melainkan aku mengambil haknya darinya. Tetapi beritahu aku, siapakah orang yang paling pemberani di antara manusia?" Mereka berkata, "Kami tidak tahu. Siapa dia?" Ia berkata, "Abu Bakar. Pada Hari Badar, kami membuatkan naungan dari matahari untuk Rasulullah ﷺ, lalu kami berkata, 'Siapa yang akan bersama Rasulullah ﷺ agar tidak ada seorang musyrik pun yang menyerang beliau?' Demi Allah, tidak ada seorang pun dari kami yang mendekat kecuali Abu Bakar, yang menghunus pedang di atas kepala Rasulullah ﷺ. Tidak ada seorang pun yang menyerang beliau melainkan ia pun menyerangnya. Maka dialah orang yang paling pemberani di antara manusia." ʿAli radhiyallahu ʿanhu berkata: Aku melihat Rasulullah ﷺ, dan orang-orang Quraisy menangkap beliau. Yang satu memegang beliau, yang lain mendorong beliau hingga jatuh, dan mereka berkata, "Apakah engkau yang menjadikan tuhan-tuhan itu satu tuhan?" Demi Allah, tidak ada seorang pun dari kami yang mendekat kecuali Abu Bakar, yang memukul yang ini, menahan yang itu, dan menjatuhkan yang lain sambil berkata, "Celakalah kalian! Apakah kalian akan membunuh seseorang hanya karena ia berkata, 'Tuhanku adalah Allah'?" Kemudian ʿAli mengangkat kain yang sedang ia kenakan lalu menangis hingga janggutnya basah, dan berkata, "Aku bersumpah demi Allah! Manakah yang lebih baik, orang beriman dari keluarga Firaun ataukah Abu Bakar?" Orang-orang diam. Ia berkata, "Mengapa kalian tidak menjawab? Demi Allah, sesaat dari Abu Bakar lebih baik daripada seribu jam seperti orang beriman dari keluarga Firaun."

Al-Bazzar narrated in his Musnad that °Ali said, ‘Tell me who is the bravest of men?’ They said, ‘You.’ He said, ‘As for me, I never encountered anyone but that I took my due from him, but tell me who is the bravest of men?’ They said, ‘We don’t know. Who Is it?’ He said, ‘Abu Bakr. On the Day of Badr we made a shelter from the sun for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him unci grant him peace, and then we said, “Who will be with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, so that none of the idolaters may fall upon him?” By Allah, none of us drew near except for Abu Bakr who brandished a sword over the head of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. No-one fell upon him but that he in turn fell upon him. So he is the bravest of men.’ cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him a nd grant him peace, and Quraysh grabbed him. One held him and another threw him down and they were saying, ‘Are you the one who has made the gods into one god?’ By Allah, none of us npproached except Abu Bakr, striking this one, and restraining that one, and throwing down another, saying, ‘Woe to you! Will you kill a man because he says, “My Lord is Allah?”’ Then cAli raised a cloak which he was wearing and wept until his beard was wet and said, ‘I adjure you by Allah! Is the believer of the people ofFircawn better or Abu Bakr?’ People were silent. He said, ‘Will you not answer? By Allah, an hour of Abu Bakr is better than a thousand hours of the like of the believer of the people of Fircawn.

Dia adalah seorang laki-laki yang menyembunyikan imannya, sedangkan ini adalah seorang laki-laki yang terang-terangan dengan imannya! Al-Bukhari meriwayatkan bahwa 'Urwah bin az-Zubayr berkata: Aku bertanya kepada 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin al-'Ash tentang perbuatan paling buruk yang dilakukan orang-orang musyrik terhadap Rasulullah ﷺ. Ia berkata, "Aku melihat 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayth datang kepada Nabi ﷺ ketika beliau sedang shalat, lalu ia meletakkan kainnya di leher beliau dan dengan sungguh-sungguh berusaha mencekiknya. Kemudian Abu Bakar datang dan membela beliau, lalu berkata, 'Apakah kalian akan membunuh seseorang hanya karena ia mengatakan, "Tuhanku adalah Allah," padahal ia telah datang kepada kalian dengan membawa bukti-bukti yang jelas dari Tuhan kalian?'" Al-Haytham bin Kulayb meriwayatkan dalam Musnad-nya bahwa Abu Bakar berkata, "Pada Hari Uhud, semua orang lari meninggalkan Rasulullah ﷺ, dan akulah orang pertama yang kembali!" Sisa hadits tersebut terdapat dalam Musnad yang diriwayatkan oleh al-Haytham bin Kulayb.

He was a man who concealed his iman, and this was a man who was open about his iman! Al-Bukhari narrated that cUrwah ibn az-Zubayr said: I asked ‘Abdullah ibn cAmr ibn al-cAs about the worst thing that the idolaters did to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, ‘I saw TJqbah ibn Abi Mucayt who came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was praying, and he placed his cloak about his neck and seriously tried to throttle him. Then Abu Bakr came and defended him and said, “Would you kill a man because he says, ‘My Lord is Allah,’ and he has come to you with clear signs from your Lord?”’ Al-Haytham ibn Kulayb narrated in his Musnad that Abu Bakr said, ‘On the Day of Uhud everyone fled from the Messenger of Allah, and I was the first to return!’ The rest of the hadith is in the Musnad which al-Haytham ibn Kulayb narrated.

Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahwa 'Aisyah, semoga Allah meridhainya, berkata: Ketika para sahabat Nabi ﷺ berkumpul, dan jumlah mereka tiga puluh delapan orang laki-laki, Abu Bakar mendesak Rasulullah ﷺ agar berdakwah secara terbuka dan terang-terangan. Beliau bersabda, "Wahai Abu Bakar, kita masih sedikit." Abu Bakar tidak henti-hentinya mendesak Rasulullah ﷺ hingga Rasulullah ﷺ menjadikan dakwah itu terbuka. Kaum Muslimin pun menyebar ke setiap sudut Masjid (Makkah), setiap orang bersama kerabatnya sendiri, dan Abu Bakar berdiri di tengah orang banyak menyampaikan seruannya, sehingga ia adalah orang pertama yang berdakwah secara terbuka dengan mengajak manusia kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Orang-orang musyrik menyerbu Abu Bakar dan kaum Muslimin, lalu memukuli mereka dengan sangat keras di setiap sudut Masjid.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that cA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: When the companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gathered, and they were thirty-eight men, Abu Bakr pressed upon the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to be open and public. He said, ‘Abu Bakr, we are few.’ Abu Bakr wouldn’t stop urging the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, until the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, made things public. The Muslims went into every corner of the Mosque (of Makkah), every man among his own kinsfolk, and Abu Bakr stood up among the people addressing them, so that he was the first public speaker to invite people to Allah and His Messenger. The idolaters leapt upon Abu Bakr and the Muslims, and they beat them, in every corner of the Mosque, very severely.
