    وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ عَلَى جَيْشِ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ: «عَائِشَةُ» . قُلْتُ: مِنِ الرِّجَالِ؟ قَالَ: «أَبُوهَا» . قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: «عُمَرُ» . فَعَدَّ رِجَالًا فَسَكَتُّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي فِي آخِرهم. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    `Amr b. al-‘As told that when God’s messenger sent him as head of the army to Dhat as-Salasil[*] he went to him and asked him which of the people he liked best. On his replying that it was `A’isha, he said he was referring to men, and he replied that it was her father. He asked who came next, and when he replied that it was `Umar and went on to enumerate some men, he asked him no more from fear that he might put him among the last of them. *In 8 AH. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    وَعَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ قَالَ: أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةٌ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ؟ كَأَنَّهَا تُرِيدُ الْمَوْتَ. قَالَ: «فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    Al-Humaidi’s book has “I have most right” instead of “make unjustifiable claims for himself.” Jubair b. Mut’im told that a woman came and spoke to the Prophet about a matter, and when he ordered her to come back some other time she said, “Messenger of God, tell me what to do if I come and do not find you”; and it seemed as if she meant that he might be dead. He replied, “If you do not find me go to Abu Bakr.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    `A’isha told that during his illness God’s messenger said to her, “Call me Abu Bakr, your father, and your brother, so that I may write a document, for I fear that someone may be desirous of succeeding me and that one may [make unjustifiable claims for himself[*]] whereas God and the believers will have no one but Abu Bakr.” 3. Literally, “may say, `I’”. Pt. 17 Muslim transmitted it.

    عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَمَنِّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ – وَعِنْدَ الْبُخَارِيِّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ – وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَوَدَّتُهُ لَا تُبْقَيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَوْخَةٌ إِلَّا خَوْخَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» . وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا غَيْرَ رَبِّي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

    Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported the Prophet as saying, “The one who has been most generous to me with his companionship and property is Ab Bakr[*], and if I were to take a friend I would take Abu Bakr as a friend, but we have the brotherhood and love of Islam. No opening into the mosque must be left but that of Abu Bakr.” A version has “If I were to take a friend other than my Lord, I would take Abu Bakr as a friend.” *After giving Abu Bakr with the nominative, it says Bukhari read Aba Bakr. That would be more usual, as it follows inna , but see p.18. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
