Ad-Dinuri meriwayatkan dalam al-Mujalasah, dan Ibn cAsakir meriwayatkan bahawa asy-Sya'bi berkata: Allah mengkhususkan Abu Bakar dengan empat sifat yang tidak Dia khususkan kepada mana-mana orang lain: Dia menamakannya as-Siddiq dan tiada seorang pun selain beliau yang dinamakan as-Siddiq; beliau adalah sahabat gua bersama Rasulullah ﷺ; beliau adalah sahabat karib baginda ketika Hijrah; dan Rasulullah ﷺ memerintahkannya mengimami solat sedangkan kaum Muslimin menjadi saksi kepada perkara itu.

Ad-Dinuri narrated, in al-Mujalasah, and Ibn cAsakir that ash-Shacbi said: Allah singled out Abu Bakr for four qualities with which he did not single out any other person: He named him as-Siddiq and named no-one apart from him as-Siddiq; and he was the Companion of the Cave along with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace; his close companion on the Hijrah; and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered him to lead the prayer while the Muslims were witnesses to that.

Abu Dawud meriwayatkan dalam Kitab al-Masahif bahawa Ja'far berkata:

lltii Abi Dawud narrated in Kitab al-Masahif that Jacfar said:

Abu Bakr dahulu biasa mendengar perbualan rapat antara Jibril dengan Nabi ﷺ tanpa melihat baginda.

Abu Bakr used to listen to the intimate conversation of Jibril with I hr Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, without iceing him.

Al-Hakim meriwayatkan bahawa Ibn al-Musayyab berkata: Abu Bakr berada dalam kedudukan sebagai timbalan kepada Nabi ﷺ, dan baginda akan mengambil nasihatnya dalam semua urusan baginda. Beliau adalah yang kedua bersama baginda dalam Islam, yang kedua di Gua, yang kedua dalam tempat berteduh pada Hari Badar, dan yang kedua di kubur. Rasulullah ﷺ tidak akan mengutamakan sesiapa pun daripadanya.

Al-Hakim narrated that Ibn al-Musayyab said: Abu Bakr was, in relation to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, In l lie position of a deputy and he would take his counsel in all his rt I lairs. He was his second in Islam, and his second in the Cave, his second in the shelter on the Day of Badr, and his second in the arave. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would not prefer anyone over him.
