Ad-Dinuri overleverde in al-Mujalasah, en Ibn Asakir, dat ash-Shacbi zei: Allah onderscheidde Abu Bakr met vier eigenschappen waarmee Hij niemand anders onderscheidde: Hij noemde hem as-Siddiq en noemde niemand anders dan hem as-Siddiq; en hij was de metgezel van de Grot samen met de Boodschapper van Allah ﷺ; zijn nauwe metgezel tijdens de emigratie (Hijrah); en de Boodschapper van Allah ﷺ beval hem om het gebed te leiden terwijl de moslims daar getuige van waren.

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 overleverde in Kitab al-Masahif dat Jacfar zei:

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

Abu Bakr luisterde naar het intieme gesprek tussen Jibril (vrede zij met hem) en de Profeet ﷺ, zonder hem te storen.

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 overleverde dat Ibn al-Musayyab zei: Abu Bakr was, in relatie tot de Profeet ﷺ, in de positie van een plaatsvervanger en hij vroeg zijn advies in al zijn zaken. Hij was zijn tweede in de Islam, zijn tweede in de Grot, zijn tweede in de beschutting op de Dag van Badr, en zijn tweede in het graf. De Boodschapper van Allah ﷺ zou niemand boven hem verkiezen.

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.
