Al-Bazzar o'zining "Musnad" kitobida rivoyat qilgan: Ali (r.a.) dedi: "Menga ayting-chi, odamlarning eng jasuri kim?" Ular dedilar: "Siz." U dedi: "Men esa, kimdir bilan to'qnashganimda, undan o'z haqimni olmagan kishi emasman. Lekin menga ayting, odamlarning eng jasuri kim?" Ular dedilar: "Bilmaymiz. Kim u?" U dedi: "Abu Bakr. Badr kuni biz Allohning Elchisi ﷺ uchun quyosh nuridan to'siq yasadik, so'ng dedik: "Allohning Elchisi ﷺ yoniga kim boradi, mushriklardan biri unga hujum qilmasligi uchun?" Allohga qasamki, bizdan hech kim yaqinlashmadi, faqat Abu Bakr yaqinlashdi. U Allohning Elchisi ﷺ boshi ustida qilichini yalang'ochlab turdi. Unga hujum qilgan hech kim yo'q ediki, u ham unga qarshi hujum qilmagan bo'lsin. Demak, u odamlarning eng jasuridir." Ali (r.a.) dedi: "Men Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ni ko'rdim, Quraysh uni ushladi. Bir kishi uni ushlab turdi, boshqasi uni yerga yiqitdi va ular: "Xudolarni bitta xudoga aylantirgan sen emasmisan?" deb aytishardi. Allohga qasamki, bizdan hech kim yaqinlashmadi, faqat Abu Bakr yaqinlashdi. U bu birini urdi, u birini to'xtatdi, boshqasini yerga yiqitdi va: "Voy sizga! Odamni "Mening Robbim Allohdir" dediga uchun o'ldirasizlarmi?" deb aytdi." Shundan so'ng Ali (r.a.) o'zi kiygan ridoni ko'tarib, soqoli ho'l bo'lguncha yig'ladi va dedi: "Sizlarni Alloh nomi bilan qasam ichtiraman! Fir'avn xalqidagi mo'min kishimi yoki Abu Bakrmi, qaysi biri yaxshiroq?" Odamlar jim qolishdi. U dedi: "Javob bermaysizlarmi? Allohga qasamki, Abu Bakrning bir soati, Fir'avn xalqidagi mo'min kishiga o'xshash minglab soatlardan yaxshiroqdir."

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.

U o‘zining imonini yashirgan kishi edi, bu esa imonini ochiq-oydin izhor qilgan kishi edi! Al-Buxoriy rivoyat qilishicha, Urva ibn az-Zubayr aytdi: Men Abdulloh ibn Amr ibn al-As’dan mushriklar Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ga qilgan eng yomon ish haqida so‘radim. U aytdi: «Men Uqba ibn Abu Mu‘aytni ko‘rdim, u Nabiy ﷺ ning oldiga kelib, u namoz o‘qiyotgan paytda, ridosini uning bo‘yniga o‘radi va uni bo‘g‘ishga qattiq urindi. Shunda Abu Bakr kelib uni himoya qildi va aytdi: “Rabbim Allohdir, deganı uchun bir kishini o‘ldirasizmi? Holbuki u sizlarning Rabbingizdan sizlarga aniq dalillar bilan kelgan-ku?”» Al-Haysam ibn Kulayb o‘zining «Musnad»ida rivoyat qilishicha, Abu Bakr aytdi: «Uhud kuni hamma Allohning Elchisi ﷺ dan qochdi, men esa birinchi bo‘lib qaytdim!» Hadisning qolgan qismi al-Haysam ibn Kulayb rivoyat qilgan «Musnad»dadir.

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 Asokir rivoyat qilishicha, Oisha, Alloh unidan rozi bo'lsin, aytgan: Payg'ambarning ashoblari, Alloh uning ustiga rahmat va salom yog'dirsin, to'planganlarida, ular o'ttiz sakkiz kishi edi, Abu Bakr Alloh Elchisi, Alloh uning ustiga rahmat va salom yog'dirsin, dan ochiq-oshkora ish boshlashni talab qildi. U: "Abu Bakr, biz kammiz", dedi. Abu Bakr Alloh Elchisi ﷺ ni, to Alloh Elchisi ﷺ ishni oshkora qilguncha, undashdan to'xtamadi. Musulmonlar Masjid (Makka masjidi)ning har bir burchagiga, har bir kishi o'z qavm-qarindoshlari orasiga tarqaldi, Abu Bakr esa odamlar orasida turib, ularga nutq so'zladi va shu tariqa odamlarni Allohga va Uning Elchisiga da'vat qilgan birinchi notiq bo'ldi. Mushriklar Abu Bakr va musulmonlarga tashlanib, Masjidning har bir burchagida ularni juda qattiq urdilar.

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.

Ushbu hadisning xulosasi Umar ibn al-Xattob, Alloh ундан rozi bo'lsin, tarjimai holida keladi.

The conclusion of this hadith will come in the biography ofTJmar, may Allah be pleased with him.

Ibn ʿAsokir rivoyat qilishicha, ʿAli, Alloh unbased rozi bo‘lsin, aytgan: Abu Bakr Islomni qabul qilganda, u Islomini oshkora qildi va odamlarni Allohga va Uning Rasuliga ﷺ da’vat qildi.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, said: When Abu Bakr accepted Islam, he was open about his Islam and he invited people to Allah and to His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
