Al-Buxoriy rivoyat qilishicha, Abu ad-Dardo aytdi: Men Payg‘ambar ﷺ huzurida o‘tirgan edim. Shu payt Abu Bakr keldi, salom berdi va dedi: “Mening bilan Umar ibn al-Xattob o‘rtasida bir gap bo‘lib qoldi, men unga shoshqaloqlik qildim, keyin pushaymon bo‘ldim va uni kechirishini so‘radim, lekin u rad etdi. Shuning uchun sizning huzuringizga keldim.” U zot ﷺ uch marta dedilar: “Ey Abu Bakr, Alloh seni kechirsin.” Keyinroq Umar pushaymon bo‘lib, Abu Bakrning uyiga bordi, lekin uni topmadi. U Payg‘ambar ﷺ huzuriga keldi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ ning yuzlari qizarib ketdi, shu darajaga yetdiki, Abu Bakr qo‘rqib ketdi va tizzalab yiqildi va ikki marta: “Ey Allohning Elchisi, Alloh haqi, xato qilgan men edim, undan ko‘ra ko‘proq” dedi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ dedilar: “Albatta, Alloh meni sizlarga yuborganida, siz: ‘Yolg‘on aytasan’ dedingiz, Abu Bakr esa: ‘Sen rost aytding’ dedi, u o‘zini va molini men bilan baham ko‘rdi. Sizlar mening do‘stimni menga qoldirasizmi?” Buni ikki marta takrorladilar. Shundan keyin unga hech qanday xafalik yetkazilmadi.
Ibn Adiy rivoyat qilishicha, Ibn Umar, Alloh ulardan rozi bo‘lsin, shunga o‘xshash rivoyat qilgan, unda aytilgan: So‘ngra Allohning Elchisi ﷺ dedilar: “Do‘stim haqida meni ranjitmanglar, chunki Alloh meni hidoyat va Haqning hayot dasturi bilan yubordi. Siz: ‘Yolg‘on aytasan!’ dedingiz, Abu Bakr esa: ‘Sen rost aytding’ dedi. Agar Alloh uni ‘do‘st’ deb atamaganida edi, men uni yaqin do‘st qilib olgan bo‘lardim, lekin Islom birodarligi bor.”
Ibn Asokir rivoyat qilishicha, al-Miqdom aytdi: Aqil ibn Abu Solih va Abu Bakr bir-birini so‘kishdi. Abu Bakr nasabshunos edi, lekin Aqilning Payg‘ambar ﷺ bilan qarindoshligi sababli o‘zini tiyib, undan yuz o‘girdi. U Payg‘ambar ﷺ ga shikoyat qildi. Shundan so‘ng Payg‘ambar ﷺ odamlar orasida turib dedilar: «Mening do‘stimni menga qoldirasizmi? Sizning ishingiz uning ishiga qanday o‘xshaydi? Chunki, Alloh haqi, sizlardan har bir kishining uy eshigi oldida zulmat bor, faqat Abu Bakrning eshigi bundan mustasno, uning eshigi oldida nur bor. Alloh haqi, siz “Yolg‘onchisan!” dedingiz, Abu Bakr esa “Siz rost aytdingiz!” dedi. Siz mol-mulkingizni menga ayamadingiz, Abu Bakr esa mol-mulkini menga bag‘ishladi. Siz meni tark etdingiz, Abu Bakr esa men bilan birga bo‘ldi va menga ergashdi».
Al-Bukhoriy rivoyat qilishicha, Ibn Umar, Alloh ikkovlaridan rozi bo‘lsin, dedi: Alloh elchisi ﷺ dedilar: «Kim kibr bilan libosini sudrab yursa, Alloh qiyamat kuni unga qaramaydi». Shunda Abu Bakr dedi: «Mening libosimning bir tomoni osilib tushadi, agar uni doim tuzatib turmasam». Alloh elchisi ﷺ dedilar: «Sen buni kibr bilan qilmaysan».
Muslim rivoyat qilishicha, Abu Hurayra, Alloh undan rozi bo‘lsin, dedi: Alloh elchisi ﷺ dedilar: «Bugun kim orangizdan ro‘za tutib tong otdirdi?» Abu Bakr dedi: «Men». Keyin dedilar: «Bugun kim orangizdan janoza ortidan borди?» Abu Bakr dedi: «Men». Dedilar: «Bugun kim orangizdan muhtoj miskinni ovqatlantirdi?» Abu Bakr dedi: «Men». Dedilar: «Bugun kim orangizdan kasalni ziyorat qildi?» Abu Bakr dedi: «Men». Alloh elchisi ﷺ dedilar: «Bular bir kishida jam bo‘lsa, u albatta jannatga kiradi».
Bu hadis Anas ibn Molik va Abdurrahmon ibn Abu Bakr rivoyatlarida ham naql qilingan. Al-Bayhaqiy al-Asl kitobida Anas rivoyatida, uning oxirida, «Sizlar uchun jannat vojib bo‘ldi», degan so‘zlar bor. Abd ar-Rahmon hadisida, uni al-Bazzor rivoyat qilgan, matni quyidagicha: Allohning Elchisi ﷺ subh namozini o‘qidilar, so‘ngra yuzlarini sahobalariga qaratib: “Sizlardan kim bugun ro‘za tutdi?” dedilar. Shunda Umar: “Ey Allohning Elchisi, men kecha ro‘za tutishni niyat qilmadim, shuning uchun bugun ro‘zani boshlamadim”, dedi. Abu Bakr: “Lekin men kecha ro‘za tutishni niyat qildim, shuning uchun bugun ro‘zani boshladim”, dedi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ yana so‘radilar: “Sizlardan kim bugun kasalni ziyorat qildi?” Shunda Umar: “Ey Allohning Elchisi, biz hali (subh namozidan so‘ng masjiddan) chiqmadik-ku, qanday qilib kasalni ziyorat qilamiz?” dedi. Abu Bakr: “Menga xabar yetdi, mening birodarim Abd ar-Rahmon ibn Avf kasal bo‘lib yotibdi, shuning uchun bu tong uning holini so‘rash uchun unikiga bordim”, dedi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ yana: “Sizlardan kim bugun muhtojga taom berdi?” deb so‘radilar. Umar: “Ey Allohning Elchisi, biz hali chiqmadik”, dedi. Abu Bakr: “Men masjidga kirdim, u yerda bir gado bor edi. Keyin Abd ar-Rahmonning (o‘g‘lining) qo‘lida bir parcha arpa noni topdim, uni olib unga berdim”, dedi. Shunda Payg‘ambar ﷺ: “Sen! Jannat bilan xursand bo‘l”, dedilar. So‘ng Umarni xursand qilgan bir so‘zni aytdilar. Umar esa, o‘zi hech qachon yaxshi ish qilishni niyat qilmagan, lekin Abu Bakr uni o‘zidan oldin qilib qo‘yganini da’vo qildi.
Al-Bukhari narrated that Abu’d-Darda’ said: I was sitting with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when Abu Bakr came up and greeted and said, ‘There was something between me and cUmar ibn al-Khattab, and I was hasty with him, then later I regretted and I asked him to forgive me, but he refused, so I have come to you.’ He said, ‘May Allah forgive you, Abu Bakr,’ three times. Later, cUmar relented and went to the house of Abu Bakr but did not find him. He came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The face of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, became flushed until Abu Bakr grew afraid and fell down on his knees saying, ‘Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I was more in the wrong than him,’ twice. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Truly, Allah sent me to you and you said, “You lie,” and Abu Bakr said, “You have told the truth,” and he shared himself and his wealth with me. Will you leave me my companion?’ saying this last twice. He was not caused any hurt alter that. Ibn cAdi narrated that Ibn cUmar, may Allah be pleased wit li him, related the like of it, in which he said: Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Do not cause me hurt in my companion, for Allah sent me with guidance and the life-transaction of the Truth. You said, “You lie!” and Abu Hakr said, “You have told the truth.” If it was not that Allah named him a “companion” I would have taken him as an intimate friend, liut there is the brotherhood of Islam.’ Ibn cAsakir narrated that al-Miqdam said that: cAqil ibn Abi Talib and Abu Bakr insulted each other. Abu Bakr was a genealogist, except that he refrained because of his (cAqil’s) kinship to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and turned away from him. He complained to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stood among the people and said, ‘Will you not leave me my companion? What is your business compared to his business? For, by Allah, there is not one man of you but that upon the door of his house there is a darkness, except for the door of Abu Bakr, for upon his door there is light, hy Allah, you said, “You lie!” and Abu Bakr said, “You have told the truth!” and you withheld your wealth and he was liberal to me with his wealth, and you abandoned me and he shared with me and followed me.’ Al-Bukhari narrated that Ibn cUmar, may Allah be pleased with both of them, said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Whoever trails his robe haughtily, Allah will not look upon him on the Day of Rising.’ So Abu Bakr said, ‘One of the two sides of my robe hangs loosely unless I repeatedly correct that.’ The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘You don’t do it out of haughtiness.’ Muslim narrated that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless and grant him and his family peace, said, ‘Who of you has started today fasting?’ Abu Bakr said, ‘I did.’ Then he said, ‘Who of you has followed a funeral cortege?’ Abu Bakr said, ‘I have.’ He said, ‘Who of you has fed a bereft person today?’ Abu Bakr said, ‘I have.’ He said, ‘Who of you has visited a sick person today?’ Abu Bakr said, ‘I have.’ The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘They are not gathered together in a man but that he will enter the Garden.’ This hadith has been transmitted in narrations of Anas ibn Malik and cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr. In the hadith of Anas, which al-Bayhaqi narrated in al-Asl, at the end of it there is, ‘The Garden has become obligatory for you.’ In the hadith of cAbd ar-Rahman, which al-Bazzar narrated, its wording is: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, performed the dawn prayer, then turned his face to his companions and said, ‘Who of you has started today fasting?’ So cUmar said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I did not decide to fast yesterday, so I have not begun today fasting.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘But I did decide to fast yesterday so I have begun today fasting.’ He said, ‘Has anyone of you today visited a sick person?’ So cUmar said, ‘Messenger of Allah, we haven’t left (the mosque after the dawn prayer) yet. How could we have visited a sick person?’ Abu Bakr said, ‘It reached me that my brother cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf is complaining (of an illness) so I made my way to him to see how he is this morning.’ He said, ‘Has anyone of you fed a bereft person today?’ cUmar said, ‘Messenger of Allah, we haven’t left yet.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘I entered the mosque and there was a beggar, then I found a piece of barley bread in cAbd ar-Rahman’s (his son’s) hand, so I took it and gave it to him.’ Then he said, ‘You! So rejoice in the Garden.’ Then he said a word which pleased cUmar, and he (cUmar) claimed that he had never meant to do a good action but that Abu Bakr had preceded him to it.
