Al-Bazzar narrou em seu Musnad que °Ali disse: "Digam-me, quem é o mais corajoso dos homens?" Responderam: "Você." Ele disse: "Quanto a mim, nunca enfrentei alguém sem que tomasse o que me era devido dele; mas digam-me, quem é o mais corajoso dos homens?" Eles disseram: "Não sabemos. Quem é?" Ele disse: "Abu Bakr. No Dia de Badr, fizemos uma sombra contra o sol para o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ, e então dissemos: 'Quem ficará com o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ para que nenhum dos idólatras possa atacá-lo?' Por Allah, nenhum de nós se aproximou, exceto Abu Bakr, que brandiu uma espada sobre a cabeça do Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ. Ninguém se aproximou dele sem que ele também se lançasse sobre esse homem. Portanto, ele é o mais corajoso dos homens." °Ali, que Allah esteja satisfeito com ele, disse: Vi o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ quando os Quraysh o agarraram. Um o segurava, outro o derrubou no chão, e diziam: "És tu quem fez dos deuses um só deus?" Por Allah, nenhum de nós se aproximou, exceto Abu Bakr, que golpeava um, continha outro e derrubava outro, dizendo: "Ai de vós! Matareis um homem porque ele diz: 'Meu Senhor é Allah'?" Então °Ali ergueu um manto que vestia, chorou até que sua barba ficasse molhada, e disse: "Eu vos conjuro por Allah! O crente do povo de Fir'awn é melhor, ou Abu Bakr?" As pessoas ficaram em silêncio. Ele disse: "Não respondereis? Por Allah, uma hora de Abu Bakr é melhor que mil horas do semelhante ao crente do povo de Fir'awn."

Al-Bazzar narrated in his Musnad that °Ali said, ‘Tell me who is the bravest of men?’ They said, ‘You.’ He said, ‘As for me, I never encountered anyone but that I took my due from him, but tell me who is the bravest of men?’ They said, ‘We don’t know. Who Is it?’ He said, ‘Abu Bakr. On the Day of Badr we made a shelter from the sun for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him unci grant him peace, and then we said, “Who will be with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, so that none of the idolaters may fall upon him?” By Allah, none of us drew near except for Abu Bakr who brandished a sword over the head of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. No-one fell upon him but that he in turn fell upon him. So he is the bravest of men.’ cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him a nd grant him peace, and Quraysh grabbed him. One held him and another threw him down and they were saying, ‘Are you the one who has made the gods into one god?’ By Allah, none of us npproached except Abu Bakr, striking this one, and restraining that one, and throwing down another, saying, ‘Woe to you! Will you kill a man because he says, “My Lord is Allah?”’ Then cAli raised a cloak which he was wearing and wept until his beard was wet and said, ‘I adjure you by Allah! Is the believer of the people ofFircawn better or Abu Bakr?’ People were silent. He said, ‘Will you not answer? By Allah, an hour of Abu Bakr is better than a thousand hours of the like of the believer of the people of Fircawn.

Ele era um homem que ocultava a sua fé (īmān), e este era um homem que manifestava abertamente a sua fé! Al-Bukhari narrou que ʿUrwah ibn az-Zubayr disse: perguntei a ʿAbdullah ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAs sobre a pior coisa que os idólatras fizeram ao Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ. Ele disse: "Vi ʿUqbah ibn Abi Muʿayt chegar até o Profeta ﷺ enquanto ele rezava, colocar o seu manto em volta do pescoço dele e apertá-lo com força para estrangulá-lo. Então Abu Bakr veio, defendeu-o e disse: 'Vocês matariam um homem só porque ele diz: "Meu Senhor é Allah", quando ele veio até vocês com sinais claros do seu Senhor?'" Al-Haytham ibn Kulayb narrou no seu Musnad que Abu Bakr disse: "No dia de Uhud, todos fugiram do Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ, e eu fui o primeiro a voltar!" O restante do hadith está no Musnad que al-Haytham ibn Kulayb narrou.

He was a man who concealed his iman, and this was a man who was open about his iman! Al-Bukhari narrated that cUrwah ibn az-Zubayr said: I asked ‘Abdullah ibn cAmr ibn al-cAs about the worst thing that the idolaters did to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, ‘I saw TJqbah ibn Abi Mucayt who came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was praying, and he placed his cloak about his neck and seriously tried to throttle him. Then Abu Bakr came and defended him and said, “Would you kill a man because he says, ‘My Lord is Allah,’ and he has come to you with clear signs from your Lord?”’ Al-Haytham ibn Kulayb narrated in his Musnad that Abu Bakr said, ‘On the Day of Uhud everyone fled from the Messenger of Allah, and I was the first to return!’ The rest of the hadith is in the Musnad which al-Haytham ibn Kulayb narrated.

Ibn cAsakir narrou que cA'ishah, que Allah esteja satisfeito com ela, disse: Quando os companheiros do Profeta ﷺ se reuniram, eram trinta e oito homens, e Abu Bakr insistiu junto ao Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ para que fossem abertos e públicos. Ele disse: "Abu Bakr, somos poucos." Abu Bakr não parava de insistir com o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ, até que o Mensageiro de Allah ﷺ tornou as coisas públicas. Os muçulmanos foram a cada canto da Mesquita (de Makkah), cada homem junto aos seus parentes, e Abu Bakr levantou-se entre as pessoas e dirigiu-se a elas, de modo que foi o primeiro orador público a convidar as pessoas a Allah e ao Seu Mensageiro ﷺ. Os idólatras lançaram-se sobre Abu Bakr e os muçulmanos, e os espancaram, em todos os cantos da Mesquita, de forma muito severa.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that cA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: When the companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gathered, and they were thirty-eight men, Abu Bakr pressed upon the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to be open and public. He said, ‘Abu Bakr, we are few.’ Abu Bakr wouldn’t stop urging the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, until the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, made things public. The Muslims went into every corner of the Mosque (of Makkah), every man among his own kinsfolk, and Abu Bakr stood up among the people addressing them, so that he was the first public speaker to invite people to Allah and His Messenger. The idolaters leapt upon Abu Bakr and the Muslims, and they beat them, in every corner of the Mosque, very severely.
