Ibn 'Asakir narrou que Anisah disse: Abu Bakr viveu entre nós por três anos antes de ser nomeado califa e um ano depois disso, e as criadas do bairro costumavam vir até ele com os seus rebanhos, e ele as ordenhava para elas.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Anisah said: Abu Bakr was settled among us for three years before he was appointed khalifah and a year afterwards, and the servant girls of the quarter would come to him with their flocks and he would milk them for them.

Ahmad narrou em az-Zuhd que Maymun ibn Mihran disse: Um homem foi até Abu Bakr e disse: "Que a paz esteja sobre você (as-salamu alaika, a forma singular de tratamento) ó Califa do Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ." E ele disse: "Entre todos estes." (O homem o havia saudado exclusivamente entre os presentes).

Ahmad narratd in az-Zuhd that Maymun ibn Mihran said: A man came to Abu Bakr and said, ‘Peace be upon you (as-salamu alaika -the singular form of address) Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah.’ And he said, ‘In among all of these.’ (The man had greeted him exclusively of those present).

Abu Salih al-Ghifari disse que cUmar ibn al-Khattab costumava cuidar de uma idosa cega em um dos arredores de Madinah durante a noite. Ele tirava água para ela beber e cuidava de seus afazeres. Às vezes, quando ele chegava até ela, descobria que alguém já o havia precedido e feito o que ela precisava. Ele foi até ela mais de uma vez para que o outro não chegasse antes dele. cUmar ficou à espreita, e era Abu Bakr quem vinha até ela, e ele era naquele tempo o califa. cUmar disse: "É você, por minha vida!" Abu Nucaym e outros narraram que cAbd ar-Rahman al-Asbahani disse: Al-Hasan ibn cAli foi até Abu Bakr quando este estava sobre o minbar do Profeta ﷺ, e disse: "Desça do assento de meu pai." Ele respondeu: "Você falou a verdade, é o assento de seu pai", e o colocou em seu colo e chorou.

Abu Salih al-Ghifari said that cUmar ibn al-Khattab used to take care of an elderly blind woman in one of the outskirts of Madinah at night. He would draw water for her to drink, and would undertake her business. Sometimes when he came to her he would find that someone else had already beaten him to her and done what she wanted. He came to her more than one time so that the other might not beat him to her. cUmar lay in wait for him, and it was Abu Bakr who had come to her, and he was at that time khalifah. cUmar said, ‘You are he, by my life!’ Abu Nucaym and others narrated that cAbd ar-Rahman al-Asbahani said: Al-Hasan ibn cAli came to Abu Bakr when he was upon the minbar of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, ‘Come down from my father’s seat.’ He said, ‘You have told the truth, it is your father’s seat,’ and he placed him in his lap and wept.

'Ali disse: “Por Allah, isto não foi por ordem minha.” Ele disse: “Você falou a verdade. Por Allah, eu não suspeitei de você.”

'Ali said, ‘By Allah, this was not from my command.’ He said, ‘You have told the truth. By Allah, I did not suspect you.’

Ibn Sa'd narrou que Ibn 'Umar disse: O Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ designou Abu Bakr para liderar o Hajj no primeiro Hajj do Islã, e depois o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ realizou o Hajj no ano seguinte. Quando o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ faleceu e Abu Bakr foi designado califa, ele colocou 'Umar encarregado de liderar o Hajj, e depois Abu Bakr realizou o Hajj no ano seguinte. Quando Abu Bakr faleceu e 'Umar foi designado califa, ele colocou 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Awf encarregado do Hajj, e então 'Umar continuou a realizar o Hajj todos os anos até falecer. Em seguida, 'Uthman foi designado califa, e ele colocou 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Awf encarregado do Hajj.

Ibn Sacd narrated that Ibn cUmar said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, appointed Abu Bakr to lead the Hajj in the first Hajj of Islam, then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, performed the Hajj the following year. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died and Abu Bakr was appointed khalifah, he put cUmar in charge of leading the Hajj, then Abu Bakr performed the Hajj the following year. When Abu Bakr died and cUmar was appointed khalifah, he put cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf in charge of the Hajj, then cUmar continued to perform the Hajj every year until he died. cUthman was then appointed khalifah, and he put cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf in charge of the Hajj.
