حديث أَبِي بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَأَنَا فِي الْغَارِ، لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ لأَبْصَرَنَا فَقَالَ: مَا ظَنُّكَ، يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا.
I said to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while I was in the cave (of the mountain called Ath-Thûr at Makka), "If any of them should look under his feet, he would see us." He said, "O Abû Bakr! What do you think of two (persons) the third of whom is Allâh?" ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 5, Vol. 5 )
حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ عَبْدًا خَيَّرَهُ اللهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ زَهْرَهِ الدُّنْيَا مَا شَاءَ، وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، فَاخْتَارَ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَقَالَ: فَدَيْنَاكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ وَقَالَ النَّاسُ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى هذَا الشَّيْخِ، يُخْبِرُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، عَنْ عَبْدٍ خَيَّرَهُ اللهُ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَبَيْنَ مَا عِنْدَهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: فَدَيْنَاكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ الْمُخَيّرَ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هُوَ أَعْلَمَنَا بِهوَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ مِنْ أَمَنِّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، إِلَاّ خُلَّةَ الإِسْلَامِ ⦗١٢٤⦘ لا يَبْقَيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِد خَوْخَةٌ إِلَاّ خَوْخَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم sat on the pulpit and said, "Allâh has given one of His slave, the choice of receiving the splendour and luxury of the worldly life (whatever he likes) or to accept the good (of the Hereafter) which is with Him (Allâh). So he has chosen that good which is with Allâh."On that Abû Bakr wept and said, "Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you. We became astonished at this". The people said, "Look at this old man! Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم talks about a slave of Allâh to whom He has given the option to choose either the splendour of this worldly life or the good which is with Him, while he says, 'Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you.'" But it was Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم who had been given option, and Abû Bakr رضى الله عنه knew it better than us.Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "No doubt Abû Bakr رضى الله عنه has favoured me much both with his company and his property more than anybody else. And if I had to take a Khalil [1] from my followers, I would certainly have taken Abû Bakr, but the fraternity of Islâm is sufficient. Let no Khoukha [2] of the mosque remain open, except the Khoukha of Abû Bakr.”( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 244, Vol. 5 )
[1] Khalil : See glossary.[2] Khoukha : Means a small door (opening) in a big gate.
حديث عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، بَعَثَهُ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ: عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ: مِنَ الرِّجَالِ قَالَ: أَبُوهَا، قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ: ثُمَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَعَدَّ رِجَالًا.
The Prophet ﷺ deputed me to lead the army of Dhat-as-Salâsil. I came to him and said, “Who is the most beloved person to you?” He said, “‘Âisha.” I asked, “Among the men?” He said, “Her father.” I said, “Who then?” He said, “Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb” He then named other men. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 14, Vol. 5 )
حديث جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمِ، قَالَ: أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِع إِلَيْهِ قَالَتْ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَقولُ: الْمَوْتَ قَالَ ﵇: إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِيني فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ.
A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ who ordered her to return to him again. She said, “What if I came and did not find you?” as if she wanted to say, “If I found you dead?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “If you should not find me, go to Abû Bakr.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 11, Vol. 5 )
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ⦗١٢٥⦘ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً إِذْ رَكِبهَا فَضَرَبَهَا فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّا لَمْ نُخْلَقْ لِهذَا؛ إِنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا لِلْحَرْثِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ بَقَرَةٌ تَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِهذَا، أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمَا هُمَا ثَمَّ وَبَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ فِي غَنَمِهِ إِذْ عَدَا الذِّئْبُ فَذَهَبَ مِنْهَا بَشَاةٍ، فَطَلَبَ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ اسْتَنْقَذَهَا مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الذِّئْبُ: هذَا، اسْتَنْقَذْتَهَا مِنِّي، فَمَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ، يَوْمَ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا غَيْرِي فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ذِئْبٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِهذَا أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمَا هُمَا ثَمَّ.
Once Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ offered the morning prayer and then faced the people and said, “While a man was driving a cow, he rode over it and beat it. The cow said, ‘We have not been created for this, but we have been created for ploughing.’ ” On that the people said astonishingly, “Glorified be Allāh! A cow speaks!” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I believe this, and Abū Bakr and ‘Umar too, believe it, although neither of them was present there.”The Prophet ﷺ added: “While a person was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked and took one of the sheep. The man chased the wolf till he rescued it (the sheep) from the wolf, whereupon the wolf said, ‘You have rescued it (the sheep) from me; but who will guard it on the day of the wild beasts when there will be no shepherd to guard them except me?’ ” The people said surprisingly, “Glorified be Allāh! A wolf speaks!” [1] The Prophet ﷺ said, “But I believe this, and Abū Bakr and ‘Umar too, believe this, although neither of them was present there.”( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 677, Vol. 4 )
[1] It has been written that a wolf also spoke to a shepherd during the Prophet’s lifetime near Al-Madîna as narrated in Musnad of Imâm Ahmad and in the Musnad of Abû Sa‘îd Al-Khudrî (Vol 3, Page 83): Narrated Abû Sa‘îd Al-Khudrî (رضي الله عنه) : (While a shepherd was in his herd of sheep), suddenly a wolf attacked a sheep and took it away, the shepherd chased the wolf and took back the sheep, the wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: “Be afraid of Allāh, you have taken the provision from me which Allāh gave me”. The shepherd said: “What an amazing thing! A wolf sitting on its tail speaks to me in the language of a human being”. The wolf said: “Shall I tell you something more amazing than this? There is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) in Yathrib (Al-Madîna) informing the people about the news of the past.” Then the shepherd (after hearing that) proceeded (towards Al-Madîna) driving his sheep till he entered Al-Madîna, cornered his sheep in a place, and came to Allah’s Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) and informed the whole story. Allah’s Messenger ordered for the proclamation of a congregational prayer (صلاة جامعة), then he ﷺ came out and asked the shepherd to inform the people (about his story) and he informed them. Then Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said: “He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allāh) in Whose Hands my soul is, the Day of Resurrection will not be established till beasts of prey (سباع) speak to the human beings, and the stick lash and the shoe-laces of a person speak to him and his thigh inform him about his family as to what happened to them after him. [ Musnad of Imâm Ahmad. Vol 3, p. 83, Musnad Abû Sa‘îd Al-Khudrî]
44/2. Chapter:
حديث عَلِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: وُضِعَ عُمَرُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ، فَتَكَنَّفَهُ النَّاسُ، يَدْعُونَ وَيُصَلُّونَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ، وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ فَلَمْ يَرُعْنِي إِلَاّ رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ مِنْكِبِي؛ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ، فَتَرَحَّمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ وَقَالَ: مَا خَلَّفْتَ أَحَدًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَلْقَى اللهَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِهِ مِنْكَ وَايْمُ اللهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَظُنَّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ اللهُ مَعَ صَاحِبَيْكَ، وَحَسِبْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ كَثِيرًا أَسْمَع النَّبِيَ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: ذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، وَدَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، وَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ.
When (the dead body of) 'Umar was put on his death-bed, the people gathered around him and invoked (Allâh) and prayed for him before the body was taken away and I was amongst them. Suddenly I felt somebody taking hold of my shoulder and found out that he was 'Alî bin Abî Tâlib.'Alî invoked Allâh's Mercy for 'Umar and said, "O 'Umar! You have not left behind you a person whose deeds I like to imitate and meet Allâh with more than I like your deeds. By Allâh! I always thought that Allâh would keep you with your two companions, for very often I used to hear the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, 'I, Abû Bakr and 'Umar went (somewhere); I, Abû Bakr and 'Umar entered (somewhere); and I, Abû Bakr and 'Umar went out.'"( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 34, Vol. 5)
حديث أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيَّ، وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ، مِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثُدِيَّ، وَمِنْهَا مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ وَعُرِضَ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَجُرُّهُ قَالُوا: فَمَا أَوَّلْتَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: الدِّينَ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "While I was sleeping I saw (in a dream), that some people were displayed before me wearing shirts, of which some were reaching breasts only, while others were even shorter than that. And 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb was displayed before me wearing a long shirt which he was dragging." The people asked, "How did you interpret it? (What is its interpretation), O Allâh's Messenger? He (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) replied: "It is the religion." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 22, Vol. 1)
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ، أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ، فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَخْرُجُ فِي أَظْفَارِي ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالُوا: فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: الْعِلْمَ.
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما : said, Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, “While I was sleeping. I saw that a cup full of milk was brought to me and I drank my fill till I noticed its (the milk) wetness coming out of my nails. Then I gave the remaining milk to ‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb.” (The companions of the Prophet) asked, “What have you interpreted (about this dream)? O Allâh’s Messenger”. He replied, “It is (religious) knowledge.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 82, Vol. 1)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قَلِيبٍ، عَلَيْهَا دَلْوٌ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَنَزَعَ بِهَا ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزعِهِ ضَعْفٌ، وَاللهُ يَغْفرُ لَهُ ضَعْفَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا، ⦗١٢٧⦘ فَأَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الْخَطَابِ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَ عُمَرَ، حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بَعَطَنٍ.
I heard Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “While I was sleeping, (in a dream) I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allâh wished. Then Ibn Abî Quhâfa (i.e. Abû Bakr) took the bucket from me and took out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allâh forgive his weakness for him.Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattâb took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there.”( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 16, Vol. 5)
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: أُرِيتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَنْزِعُ بِدَلْوٍ بَكْرَةٍ عَلَى قَلِيبِ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ نَزْعًا ضَعِيفًا، ⦗١٢٨⦘ واللهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا يَفْرِي فَرِيَّهُ، حَتَّى رَوِيَ النَّاسُ وَضَرَبُوا بِعَطَنٍ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “In a dream I saw myself drawing water from a well with a bucket. Abû Bakr came and drew a bucket or two (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing. May Allâh forgive him. Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb came and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hands. I had never seen such a mighty person as he in doing such hard work till all the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 31, Vol. 5)
