>      Narrated Al-Bara: 
> 
>      Abu Bakr bought a (camel) saddle from 'Azib for
>      thirteen Dirhams. Abu Bakr said to 'Azib, "Tell
>      Al-Bara' to carry the saddle for me." 'Azib said,
>      "No, unless you relate to me what happened to
>      you and Allah 's Apostle when you left Mecca
>      while the pagans were in search of you." Abu
>      Bakr said, "We left Mecca and we travel led
>      continuously for that night and the following day
>      till it was midday. I looked (around) searching for
>      shade to take as shelter, and suddenly I came
>      across a rock, and found a little shade there. So I
>      cleaned the place and spread a bed for the
>      Prophet in the shade and said to him, 'Lie down,
>      O Allah's Apostle.' So the Prophet lay down and
>      I went out, looking around to see if there was
>      any person pursuing us. Suddenly I saw a
>      shepherd driving his sheep towards the rock,
>      seeking what we had already sought from it. I
>      asked him, 'To whom do you belong, O boy?'
>      He said, 'I belong to a man from Quraish.' He
>      named the man and I recognized him. I asked
>      him, 'Is there any milk with your sheep?' He said,
>      'Yes.' I said, 'Will you then milk (some) for us?'
>      He said, 'Yes.' Then I asked him to tie the legs of
>      one of the sheep and clean its udder, and then
>      ordered him to clean his hands from dust. Then
>      the shepherd cleaned his hands by striking his
>      hands against one another. After doing so, he
>      milked a small amount of milk. I used to keep for
>      Allah's Apostle a leather water-container, the
>      mouth of which was covered with a piece of
>      cloth. I poured water on the milk container till its
>      lower part was cold. Then I took the milk to the
>      Prophet whom I found awake. I said to him,
>      'Drink, O Allah's Apostle.' So he drank till I
>      became pleased. Then I said, 'It is time for us to
>      move, O Allahs Apostle!' He said, 'Yes.' So we
>      set out while the people (i.e. Quraish pagans)
>      were searching for us, but none found us except
>      Suraiqa bin Malik bin Jushum who was riding his
>      horse. I said, 'These are our pursuers who have

>      Narrated Abu Bakr: 
> 
>      I said to the Prophet while I was in the Cave. "If
>      any of them should look under his feet, he would
>      see us." He said, "O Abu Bakr! What do you

> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 6: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle addressed the people saying,
>      "Allah has given option to a slave to choose this
>      world or what is with Him. The slave has chosen
>      what is with Allah." Abu Bakr wept, and we
>      were astonished at his weeping caused by what
>      the Prophet mentioned as to a Slave ( of Allah)
>      who had been offered a choice, (we learned later
>      on) that Allah's Apostle himself was the person
>      who was given the choice, and that Abu Bakr
>      knew best of all of us. Allah's Apostle added,
>      "The person who has favored me most of all both
>      with his company and wealth, is Abu Bakr. If I
>      were to take a Khalil other than my Lord, I
>      would have taken Abu Bakr as such, but (what
>      relates us) is the Islamic brotherhood and
>      friendliness. All the gates of the Mosque should
>      be closed except the gate of Abu Bakr." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 7: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Umar: 
> 
>      We used to compare the people as to who was
>      better during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle . We
>      used to regard Abu Bakr as the best, then
>      'Umar, and then 'Uthman . 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 8: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "If I were to take a Khalil, I
>      would have taken Abu Bakr, but he is my
>      brother and my companion (in Islam)."

> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 9:

>      Narrated Aiyub: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "If I were to take a Khalil, I
>      would have taken him (i.e. Abu Bakr) as a
>      Khalil, but the Islamic brotherhood is better." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 10: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Mulaika: 
> 
>      The people of Kufa sent a letter to Ibn
>      Az-Zubair, asking about (the inheritance of)
>      (paternal) grandfather. He replied that the right of
>      the inheritance of (paternal) grandfather is the
>      same as that of father if the father is dead) and
>      added, "Allah's Apostle said, ' If I were to take a
>      Khalil from this nation, I would have taken him
>      (i.e. Abu Bakr)." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 11: 
> 
>      Narrated Jubair bin Mutim: 
> 
>      A woman came to the Prophet 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 said, "If you
>      should not find me, go to Abu Bakr." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 12: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Ammar: 
> 
>      I saw Allah's Apostle and there was none with
>      him but five slaves, two women and Abu Bakr
>      (i.e. those were the only converts to Islam then). 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 13: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Ad-Darda: 
> 
>      While I was sitting with the Prophet, Abu Bakr
>      came, lifting up one corner of h is garment
>      uncovering h is knee. The Prophet said, "Your
>      companion has had a quarrel." Abu Bakr greeted
>      (the Prophet ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
>      There was something (i.e. quarrel) between me
>      and the Son of Al-Khattab. I talked to him
>      harshly and then regretted that, and requested
>      him to forgive me, but he refused. This is why I
>      have come to you." The Prophet said thrice, "O
>      Abu Bakr! May Allah forgive you." In the
>      meanwhile, 'Umar regretted (his refusal of Abu
>      Bakr's excuse) and went to Abu Bakr's house
>      and asked if Abu Bakr was there. They replied in
>      the negative. So he came to the Prophet and
>      greeted him, but signs of displeasure appeared
>      on the face of the Prophet till Abu Bakr pitied
>      ('Umar), so he knelt and said twice, "O Allah's
>      Apostle! By Allah! I was more unjust to him
>      (than he to me)." The Prophet said, "Allah sent
>      me (as a Prophet) to you (people) but you said
>      (to me), 'You are telling a lie,' while Abu Bakr
>      said, 'He has said the truth,' and consoled me
>      with himself and his money." He then said twice,
>      "Won't you then give up harming my
>      companion?" After that nobody harmed Abu
>      Bakr. 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 14: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Amr bin Al-As: 
> 
>      The Prophet deputed me to read the Army of
>      Dhat-as-Salasil. I came to him and said, "Who is
>      the most beloved person to you?" He said, "
>      'Aisha." I asked, "Among the men?" He said,
>      "Her father." I said, "Who then?" He said, "Then
>      'Umar bin Al-Khattab." He then named other
>      men. 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 15: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "While a
>      shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf
>      attacked them and took away one sheep. When
>      the shepherd chased the wolf, the wolf turned
>      towards him and said, 'Who will be its guard on
>      the day of wild animals when nobody except I
>      will be its shepherd. And while a man was driving
>      a cow with a load on it, it turned towards him
>      and spoke to him saying, 'I have not been
>      created for this purpose, but for ploughing." The
>      people said, "Glorified be Allah." The Prophet
>      said, "But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr
>      end 'Umar." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 16: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "While I was
>      sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it
>      there was a bucket. I drew water from the well
>      as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abi Quhafa
>      (i.e. Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and
>      brought out one or two buckets (of water) and
>      there was weakness in his drawing the water.
>      May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then
>      the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn
>      Al-Khattab 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." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 17: 
> 
>      Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: 
> 
>      That Allah's Apostle said, "Allah will not look on
>      the Day of Judgment at him who drags his robe
>      (behind him) out of pride." Abu Bakr said "One
>      side of my robe slacks down unless I get very
>      cautious about it." Allah's Apostle said, "But you
>      do not do that with a pride." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 18: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Anybody who
>      spends a pair of something in Allah's Cause will
>      be called from all the gates of Paradise, "O
>      Allah's slave! This is good.' He who is amongst
>      those who pray will be called from the gate of the
>      prayer (in Paradise) and he who is from the
>      people of Jihad will be called from the gate of
>      Jihad, and he who is from those' who give in
>      charity (i.e. Zakat) will be called from the gate of
>      charity, and he who is amongst those who
>      observe fast will be called from the gate of
>      fasting, the gate of Raiyan." Abu Bakr said, "He
>      who is called from all those gates will need
>      nothing," He added, "Will anyone be called from
>      all those gates, O Allah's Apostle?" He said,
>      "Yes, and I hope you will be among those, O
>      Abu Bakr." 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 19: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle died
>      while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah
>      (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah!
>      Allah's Apostle is not dead!" 'Umar (later on)
>      said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind
>      except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect
>      him and he will cut the hands and legs of some
>      men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the
>      face of Allah's Apostle, kissed him and said, "Let
>      my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O
>      Allah's Apostle), you are good in life and in
>      death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah
>      will never make you taste death twice." Then he
>      went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be
>      hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down.
>      Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said,
>      No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad,
>      then Muhammad is dead, but whoever
>      worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall
>      never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:--
>      "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they
>      also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- 
> 
>      "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and
>      indeed many Apostles have passed away, before
>      him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn
>      back on your heels? And he who turns back On
>      his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah
>      And Allah will give reward to those Who are
>      grateful." (3.144) 
> 
>      The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were
>      assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of
>      Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There
>      should be one 'Amir from us and one from you."
>      Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu
>      'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted
>      to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later
>      on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say
>      something that appealed to me and I was afraid
>      that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then
>      Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very
>      eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the
>      rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e.
>      advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by
>      Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a
>      ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr
>      said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be
>      the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best
>      family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So
>      you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin
>      Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu
>      Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our
>      chief and the best amongst us and the most
>      beloved of all of us to Allah's Apostle." So 'Umar
>      took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of
>      allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of
>      allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You
>      have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah
>      has killed him." 'Aisha said (in another narration),
>      ("When the Prophet was on his death-bed) he
>      looked up and said thrice, (Amongst) the Highest
>      Companion (See Qur'an 4.69)' Aisha said, Allah
>      benefited the people by their two speeches.
>      'Umar frightened the people some of whom were
>      hypocrites whom Allah caused to abandon Islam
>      because of 'Umar's speech. Then Abu Bakr led
>      the people to True Guidance and acquainted
>      them with the right path they were to follow so
>      that they went out reciting:-- "Muhammad is no
>      more than an Apostle and indeed many Apostles
>      have passed away before him.." (3.144) 
> 
> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 20:

>      Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiya: 
> 
>      I asked my father ('Ali bin Abi Talib), "Who are
>      the best people after Allah's Apostle ?" He said,
>      "Abu Bakr." I asked, "Who then?" He said,

>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      We went out with Allah's Apostle on one of his

>      where my necklace got broken (and lost). Allah's
>      Apostle stopped to search for it and the people
>      too stopped with him. There was no water at that
>      place and they had no water with them. So they
>      went to Abu Bakr and said, "Don't you see what

>      while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his head
>      on my thigh and said, "You detained Allah

>      thigh . 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle kept on sleeping till be got up in

> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 22:

>      Narrated Abu Said: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "Do not abuse my companions

> Volume 5, Book 57, Number 23: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari: 
> 
>      I performed ablution in my house and then went
>      out and said, "Today I shall stick to Allah's
>      Apostle and stay with him all this day of mine (in

>      about the Prophet . They said, "He had gone in

>      about him till he entered a place called Bir Aris. I
>      sat at its gate that was made of date-palm leaves
>      till the Prophet finished answering the call of

>      him to see him sitting at the well of Aris at the
>      middle of its edge with his legs uncovered,
>      hanging in the well. I greeted him and went back
>      and sat at the gate. I said, "Today I will be the
>      gatekeeper of the Prophet." Abu Bakr came and
>      pushed the gate. I asked, "Who is it?" He said,
>      "Abu Bakr." I told him to wait, went in and said,
>      "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Bakr asks for
>      permission to enter." He said, "Admit him and
>      give him the glad tidings that he will be in

>      "Come in, and Allah's Apostle gives you the glad
>      tidings that you will be in Paradise" Abu Bakr
>      entered and sat on the right side of Allah's

>      moved the door. I asked, "Who is it?" He said,

>      'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks the permission to

>      Quraish could not refuse Ibn Ad-Daghina's

>      "Let Abu Bakr worship his Lord in his house. He
>      can pray and recite there whatever he likes, but
>      he should not hurt us with it, and should not do it
>      publicly, because we are afraid that he may affect
>      our women and children." Ibn Ad-Daghina told
>      Abu Bakr of all that. Abu Bakr stayed in that
>      state, worshipping his Lord in his house. He did
>      not pray publicly, nor did he recite Quran outside

> 
>      Then a thought occurred to Abu Bakr to build a
>      mosque in front of his house, and there he used
>      to pray and recite the Quran. The women and
>      children of the pagans began to gather around
>      him in great number. They used to wonder at him
>      and look at him. Abu Bakr was a man who used
>      to weep too much, and he could not help
>      weeping on reciting the Quran. That situation
>      scared the nobles of the pagans of Quraish, so
>      they sent for Ibn Ad-Daghina. When he came to
>      them, they said, "We accepted your protection of
>      Abu Bakr on condition that he should worship
>      his Lord in his house, but he has violated the
>      conditions and he has built a mosque in front of
>      his house where he prays and recites the Quran
>      publicly. We are now afraid that he may affect
>      our women and children unfavorably. So,
>      prevent him from that. If he likes to confine the
>      worship of his Lord to his house, he may do so,
>      but if he insists on doing that openly, ask him to
>      release you from your obligation to protect him,
>      for we dislike to break our pact with you, but we
>      deny Abu Bakr the right to announce his act
>      publicly." Ibn Ad-Daghina went to Abu- Bakr
>      and said, ("O Abu Bakr!) You know well what
>      contract I have made on your behalf; now, you
>      are either to abide by it, or else release me from
>      my obligation of protecting you, because I do not
>      want the 'Arabs hear that my people have
>      dishonored a contract I have made on behalf of
>      another man." Abu Bakr replied, "I release you
>      from your pact to protect me, and am pleased
>      with the protection from Allah." 
> 
>      At that time the Prophet was in Mecca, and he
>      said to the Muslims, "In a dream I have been
>      shown your migration place, a land of date palm
>      trees, between two mountains, the two stony
>      tracts." So, some people migrated to Medina,
>      and most of those people who had previously

>      Medina. Abu Bakr also prepared to leave for
>      Medina, but Allah's Apostle said to him, "Wait
>      for a while, because I hope that I will be allowed
>      to migrate also." Abu Bakr said, "Do you indeed
>      expect this? Let my father be sacrificed for you!"
>      The Prophet said, "Yes." So Abu Bakr did not
>      migrate for the sake of Allah's Apostle in order

> 
>      One day, while we were sitting in Abu Bakr's

>      sacrificed for him. By Allah, he has not come at
>      this hour except for a great necessity." So Allah's
>      Apostle came and asked permission to enter,
>      and he was allowed to enter. When he entered,
>      he said to Abu Bakr. "Tell everyone who is
>      present with you to go away." Abu Bakr replied,
>      "There are none but your family. May my father
>      be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" The
>      Prophet said, "i have been given permission to

>      Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! May my

>      expressed, took their pledge of allegiance asked
>      for Allah's Forgiveness for them, and left the
>      secrets of their hearts for Allah to judge. Then I
>      came to him, and when I greeted him, he smiled
>      a smile of an angry person and then said, 'Come
>      on.' So I came walking till I sat before him. He
>      said to me, 'What stopped you from joining us.
>      Had you not purchased an animal For carrying
>      you?' I answered, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! But
>      by Allah, if I were sitting before any person from
>      among the people of the world other than you, I
>      would have avoided his anger with an excuse. 
> 
>      By Allah, I have been bestowed with the power

>      I knew well that if today I tell you a lie to seek

>      with me in the near future, but if I tell you the
>      truth, though you will get angry because of it, I
>      hope for Allah's Forgiveness. Really, by Allah,
>      there was no excuse for me. By Allah, I had
>      never been stronger or wealthier than I was when
>      I remained behind you.' Then Allah's Apostle
>      said, 'As regards this man, he has surely told the
>      truth. So get up till Allah decides your case.' I got
>      up, and many men of Banu Salama followed me
>      and said to me. 'By Allah, we never witnessed
>      you doing any sin before this. Surely, you failed
>      to offer excuse to Allah's Apostle as the others
>      who did not join him, have offered. The prayer of
>      Allah's Apostle to Allah to forgive you would
>      have been sufficient for you.' By Allah, they
>      continued blaming me so much that I intended to
>      return (to the Prophet) and accuse myself of
>      having told a lie, but I said to them, 'Is there
>      anybody else who has met the same fate as I
>      have?' They replied, 'Yes, there are two men
>      who have said the same thing as you have, and to
>      both of them was given the same order as given
>      to you.' I said, 'Who are they?' They replied,
>      Murara bin Ar-Rabi Al-Amri and Hilal bin
>      Umaiya Al-Waqifi.' By that they mentioned to
>      me two pious men who had attended the
>      Ghazwa (Battle) of Badr, and in whom there was
>      an example for me. So I did not change my mind
>      when they mentioned them to me. Allah's
>      Apostle forbade all the Muslims to talk to us, the
>      three aforesaid persons out of all those who had
>      remained behind in that Ghazwa. So we kept
>      away from the people and they changed their
>      attitude towards us till the very land (where I
>      lived) appeared strange to me as if I did not
>      know it. 
> 
>      We remained in that condition for fifty nights. As
>      regards my two fellows, they remained in their
>      houses and kept on weeping, but I was the
>      youngest of them and the firmest of them, so I
>      used to go out and witness the prayers along with
>      the Muslims and roam about in the markets, but
>      none would talk to me, and I would come to
>      Allah's Apostle and greet him while he was sitting

>      wonder whether the Prophet did move his lips in

>      When I was busy with my prayer, he would turn
>      his face towards me, but when I turned my face
>      to him, he would turn his face away from me.

>      His Apostle know it better.' Thereupon my eyes
>      flowed with tears and I returned and jumped
>      over the wall." Ka'b added, "While I was
>      walking in the market of Medina, suddenly I saw
>      a Nabati (i.e. a Christian farmer) from the
>      Nabatis of Sham who came to sell his grains in
>      Medina, saying, 'Who will lead me to Kab bin

>      from the king of Ghassan in which the following

> 
>      "To proceed, I have been informed that your

>      Anyhow, Allah does not let you live at a place
>      where you feel inferior and your right is lost. So
>      join us, and we will console you." 
> 
>      When I read it, I said to myself, 'This is also a
>      sort of a test.' Then I took the letter to the oven
>      and made a fire therein by burning it. When forty
>      out of the fifty nights elapsed, behold ! There
>      came to me the messenger of Allah's Apostle and
>      said, 'Allah's Apostle orders you to keep away
>      from your wife,' I said, 'Should I divorce her; or
>      else! what should I do?' He said, 'No, only keep
>      aloof from her and do not cohabit her.' The
>      Prophet sent the same message to my two
>      fellows. Then I said to my wife. 'Go to your
>      parents and remain with them till Allah gives His
>      Verdict in this matter." Kab added, "The wife of
>      Hilal bin Umaiya came to Apostle and said, 'O
>      Allah's Apostle! Hilal bin Umaiya is a helpless
>      old man who has no servant to attend on him. Do

> 
>      On that, some of my family members said to me,

>      wealth as alms for the Sake of Allah and His
