A--- Diriwayatkan daripada Jubair bin Mut'im (semoga Allah meridhainya): Seorang wanita datang kepada Nabi ﷺ, lalu baginda menyuruhnya kembali kepada baginda pada waktu lain. Wanita itu berkata: "Bagaimana jika aku datang dan tidak mendapati tuan?" seolah-olah dia ingin mengatakan, "Bagaimana jika aku mendapati tuan telah meninggal dunia?" Nabi ﷺ bersabda: "Jika kamu tidak mendapati aku, pergilah kepada Abu Bakar." (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

A--- Narrated Jubair Ibn Mut'im (May Allah be pleased with him): A woman came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him), he ordered her to come back to him later. She said: "What if I came and did not find you?” as if she wanted to say, "If I found you dead?" The Prophet said: "If you should not find me, go to Abu Bakr.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

'A'ishah (Semoga Allah meridhainya) meriwayatkan: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda kepadaku: "Panggillah kepadaku ayahmu dan saudaramu, aku ingin menuliskan sesuatu, kerana aku bimbang ada orang yang menginginkannya (kekhalifahan), atau ada orang lain yang berkata: Akulah yang lebih berhak (daripada sesiapa pun), tetapi Allah dan orang-orang Mukmin tidak menghendaki selain Abu Bakar." (Sahih Bukhari)

'A'ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) narrated: Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) said to me: "Call unto me your father and brother, I want to get something written, for I fear someone to wish for it (the Caliphate), or someone else says: I deserve it (more than anyone else), but Allah and the Believers wish no one but Abu Bakr.” (Sahih Bukhari)

Abu Musa (Semoga Allah meridhainya) meriwayatkan: Apabila Rasulullah ﷺ jatuh sakit dan sakitnya menjadi parah, baginda memerintahkan Abu Bakar supaya mengimami orang ramai dalam solat... ". "Maka, Abu Bakar mengimami solat (dalam tempoh sakit ini) semasa hayat Rasulullah ﷺ."(Bukhari dan Muslim)

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) became ill and his illness became serious he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer... ". "So, Abu Bakr led the prayer (during this period of illness) in the life of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him).”(Bukhari and Muslim)

Selain itu, semua sahabat Nabi ﷺ dari kalangan Muhajirin dan Ansar memberikan baiah kepada Abu Bakar, dan tidak seorang pun yang membantahnya.

Besides, all companions of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) from among the Muhajirun and the Ansar paid homage to Abu Bakr and none contested thereto.
