Dua Syaikh meriwayatkan bahawa Abu Hurairah, semoga Allah meridainya, berkata: Aku mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda: "Ketika seorang gembala berada di tengah kawanan ternaknya, seekor serigala menerkam dan membawa lari seekor kambing daripadanya, lalu gembala itu mengejarnya. Serigala itu menoleh kepadanya dan berkata: 'Siapakah yang akan menjaganya pada Hari Kebangkitan, hari ketika tiada gembala lain selain aku?'" Dan ketika seorang lelaki sedang memandu seekor lembu yang memikul beban, lembu itu menoleh kepadanya dan berkata: "Aku tidak diciptakan untuk ini, tetapi aku diciptakan untuk membajak tanah." Orang ramai berkata: "Maha Suci Allah, lembu pun boleh bercakap?" Nabi ﷺ bersabda: "Aku beriman dengan itu, dan Abu Bakar serta Umar (turut beriman)." Padahal Abu Bakar dan Umar tidak hadir pada ketika itu, iaitu mereka tidak berada dalam majlis tersebut. Baginda ﷺ menyaksikan iman mereka terhadap perkara itu, mungkin maksudnya 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.

At-Tirmidhi meriwayatkan bahawa Abu Sa'id al-Khudri berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Tidak ada seorang nabi pun melainkan dia mempunyai dua wakil dari kalangan penghuni langit dan dua wakil dari kalangan penghuni bumi. Adapun dua wakil saya dari kalangan penghuni langit ialah Jibril dan Mika'il, dan adapun dua wakil saya dari kalangan penghuni bumi ialah Abu Bakar dan 'Umar." Penulis-penulis kitab Sunan dan yang lainnya meriwayatkan bahawa Sa'id bin Zaid berkata: Saya mendengar Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Abu Bakar di dalam Syurga, 'Umar di dalam Syurga, 'Uthman di dalam Syurga, 'Ali di dalam Syurga, ..." dan baginda menyebut kesemua sepuluh (yang dijanjikan Syurga).

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-Tirmidhi meriwayatkan bahawa Abu Sa'id berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, 'Golongan yang berada di kedudukan tertinggi, mereka yang berada di bawah mereka akan melihat mereka sebagaimana kamu melihat bintang yang terbit di ufuk langit, dan Abu Bakar serta 'Umar termasuk dalam kalangan mereka.' At-Tabarani juga merekodkannya dalam hadith 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.

At-Tirmidhi meriwayatkan bahawa Anas berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ biasa keluar kepada para sahabat baginda daripada kalangan Muhajirin dan Ansar ketika mereka sedang duduk. Di antara mereka ada Abu Bakar dan Umar, dan tiada seorang pun daripada mereka yang mengangkat pandangannya kepada baginda kecuali Abu Bakar dan Umar. Mereka memandang kepada baginda, dan baginda memandang kepada mereka, lalu mereka tersenyum kepada baginda, dan baginda 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-Tirmidhi dan al-Hakim meriwayatkan bahawa Ibn cUmar berkata bahawa Rasulullah ﷺ keluar pada suatu hari dan masuk ke dalam masjid, bersama Abu Bakr dan cUmar, seorang di sebelah kanan baginda dan seorang lagi di sebelah kiri baginda, sambil baginda memegang tangan mereka. Baginda bersabda, ‘Begitulah kita akan dibangkitkan pada Hari Kebangkitan.’ At-Tabarani juga merekodkannya dalam al-Awsat daripada Abu Hurayrah.

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-Tirmidhi dan al-Hakim meriwayatkan bahawa Ibn cUmar berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Aku adalah orang pertama yang bumi akan terbelah untuknya, kemudian Abu Bakr dan cUmar." At-Tirmidhi dan al-Hakim, dan beliau mengesahkannya (sahih), meriwayatkan bahawa 'Abdullah ibn Hantab berkata bahawa Nabi ﷺ melihat Abu Bakr dan cUmar lalu bersabda, "Dua ini adalah pendengaran dan penglihatan." At-Tabarani turut merekodkannya daripada hadis Ibn cUmar dan Ibn cAmr.

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 bahawa Abu Arwa ad-Dawsi berkata:

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

Saya bersama Nabi ﷺ, (sedang duduk), kemudian Abu Bakr dan cUmar datang, lalu baginda bersabda, "Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah membantuku melalui kalian berdua." Hadis ini juga diriwayatkan dalam hadis al-Bara' bin cAzib, 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 bahawa 'Ammar bin Yasir berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Jibril datang kepadaku sebelum ini dan aku berkata, 'Wahai Jibril, ceritakanlah kepadaku tentang keutamaan 'Umar bin al-Khattab.' Dia berkata, 'Walaupun aku menceritakan keutamaannya selama masa Nuh tinggal di kalangan kaumnya, keutamaan 'Umar tidak akan habis, dan sesungguhnya 'Umar adalah salah satu amal baik Abu Bakar.'" Ahmad meriwayatkan bahawa 'Abd ar-Rahman bin Ghanam berkata bahawa Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda kepada Abu Bakar dan 'Umar, "Jika kalian berdua sepakat atas sesuatu nasihat, aku tidak akan menentang kalian." At-Tabarani juga merekodkannya daripada hadith 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 bahawa Ibnu 'Umar pernah ditanya, "Siapakah yang memberi fatwa pada zaman Rasulullah ﷺ?" Beliau menjawab, "Abu Bakr dan 'Umar, dan saya tidak mengetahui sesiapa selain mereka berdua." Beliau juga meriwayatkan bahawa al-Qasim bin Muhammad berkata: Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Utsman dan 'Ali memberi fatwa pada zaman 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 daripada Ibn Mas'ud, semoga Allah meredainya, bahawa beliau berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Sesungguhnya setiap nabi mempunyai pilihan dari kalangan umatnya, dan pilihan aku dari kalangan umatku ialah Abu Bakar dan 'Umar." Ibn 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahawa 'Ali berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Semoga Allah merahmati Abu Bakar. Dia telah mengahwinkan aku dengan puterinya, dia membawaku ke negeri hijrah, dan dia membebaskan Bilal. Semoga Allah merahmati 'Umar. Dia menyatakan kebenaran walaupun pahit. Kebenaran telah menjadikannya tidak mempunyai sahabat. Semoga Allah merahmati 'Uthman. Malaikat berasa malu terhadapnya. Semoga Allah merahmati 'Ali. Ya Allah, jadikanlah kebenaran berpaling bersamanya ke mana sahaja dia berpaling." At-Tabarani meriwayatkan daripada Sahl, semoga Allah meredainya, bahawa beliau berkata: Apabila Nabi ﷺ pulang dari Haji Wada', baginda naik ke mimbar, memuji Allah, kemudian bersabda, "Wahai manusia, Abu Bakar tidak pernah menyakiti aku, maka ketahuilah hal itu tentangnya. Wahai manusia, aku redha terhadapnya, dan terhadap 'Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, Talhah, az-Zubair, Sa'd, 'Abd al-Rahman bin 'Auf, dan golongan Muhajirin yang pertama, maka ketahuilah hal itu tentang mereka." 'Abdullah bin Ahmad [Ibn Hanbal] meriwayatkan dalam Zawa'id al-Zuhd bahawa Ibn Abi Hazim berkata: Seorang lelaki datang kepada 'Ali bin al-Husain dan berkata, "Apakah kedudukan Abu Bakar dan 'Umar di sisi Rasulullah ﷺ?" Beliau menjawab, "Sama seperti kedudukan mereka di sisinya pada saat ini." (Mereka dikebumikan betul-betul di sebelah 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 bahawa Bistam bin Muslim berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda kepada Abu Bakar dan Umar, "Tiada seorang pun yang akan memerintah kamu selepasku." Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahawa Anas menceritakan, sebagai hadis marfu', "Cinta kepada Abu Bakar dan Umar adalah iman dan benci kepada mereka adalah kufur." Dia juga meriwayatkan bahawa Ibnu Mas'ud berkata: Cinta kepada Abu Bakar dan Umar serta mengenali mereka adalah (sebahagian daripada) 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 beliau meriwayatkan bahawa Anas meriwayatkan secara marfu', "Aku berharap bagi umatku, dalam kecintaan mereka kepada Abu Bakar dan Umar, apa yang aku berharap 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.’”
