His companionship was tire- less and his support unconditional. So blessed is this individual that Allah, the Most Just, allowed him to accompany the Messenger beneath the Earth just as he accompanied him above it. Even today, mere inches separate the graves of the Messenger and Abu Bakr\u003cbr\u003eThough famously known as Abu Bakr, his real name was 'Abd Allah ibn 'Uthman. He was referred to as al-Siddiq (the truthful one), a title which 'Ali ibn Abi Talib swore had descended from the Heav ens. The iman (faith) of Abu Bakr weighed more than the iman of the entire ummah combined!? This is not a claim made lightly, for there were many great men and women who were alive during the time of Abu Bakr. However, in an expression of utmost awe, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab once said:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eلو وزن إيمان أبي بكر مع إيمان الناس لرجح إيمان أبي بكر\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If the Iman of Abu Bakr was weighed with the Iman of the entire ummah, his side of the scale would be heavier.\"s\u003cbr\u003eSubhan Allah! What spectacular heights must Abu Bakr have reached\u003cbr\u003eduring his lifetime to be praised like this by 'Umar? Abu Bakr was no ordinary individual, but a true wonder of Allah's creation.\u003cbr\u003eTHE DEAREST OF THEM ALL\u003cbr\u003eAbu Bakr was - and if this had been his only virtue it would have sufficed - the most beloved of men to the Prophet. Whilst we can all claim to love the Messenger, how many of us are sure that we are loved in return? As for you and I, we will never have such a guar- antee today. But for Abu Bakr the matter was completely different. The Messenger was once asked:\u003cbr\u003e\"Who is the most beloved person to you?\" To which he responded, \"Aishah.\"\u003cbr\u003eFollowing this initial response, the questioner remarked, \"I meant from the men.\" The Prophet responded, \"Her father (i.e. Abū Bakr).\" The questioner continued asking who was next and the Prophet continued naming individuals until the questioner stopped asking for fear of being named last.\"\u003cbr\u003eNot only was Abu Bakr so loved by the Prophet, there was also a unanimous agreement among the companions that the greatest of this ummah - after its Prophet - was Abu Bakr.\u003cbr\u003e'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar would say:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eكُنَّا تُخَيرُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنُخَيْرُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخطاب ثُمَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We used to compare the people as to who was better at the\u003cbr\u003eIbn Hajar, Fath al-Bert, as narrated by al-Tabarani with a trustworthy chain of narrators Ahmad, Musnad\u003cbr\u003eMuslim, on the authority of Abu 'Uthman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage:03\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBE LIKE ABU UBAYDAH\u003cbr\u003eBe trustworthy and discharge your trusts with propriety: Abu Ubaydah was declared by the Prophetas being the amin of this ummah, the very same name and quality for which the Proph- et himself, was famous - even among the pagans - before his prophethood. Trusts have been assigned to you by Allah and you will be asked about each one before Him. Treat them in the same way you would wish to be treated and better.\u003cbr\u003eHave consciousness of Allah and He will make a way out: Abu 'Ubaydah and the companions were starving when they un- expectedly came upon the whale carcass. It did not merely satiate their immediate hunger, but it fed them for a whole month. When we discharge our religious obligations with sincerity and roam the Earth with recognition of Allah's supremacy, He provides for us from where we could never expect or imagine. Show gratitude to Allah for His blessings and be aware of His favours.\u003cbr\u003eMake a stand for what is right:\u003cbr\u003eThe companions had unwaveringly bought into the Message of the Prophet. Physical sacrifice was an easy price in exchange for eter- nity. When Abu 'Ubaydah broke his teeth aiding the Prophet, it was, of course, a sacrifice, but it was a small one in the grand scheme of things when you consider the reward that will accompany it. Be unwavering in maintaining your adherence to the truth. Be conscious of Allah and He will make a way out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage:04\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABU UBAYDAH AT A GIANCE\u003cbr\u003eAbū 'Ubaydah was named the 'trustee' of this ummah by the Prophet and declared by him to be a trustworthy man whom he sent on official visits to other polities\u003cbr\u003eBefore 'Umar died, he said that if Aba Ubaydah was still alive, he would have appointed him as the Caliph\u003cbr\u003eWhen asked about whom the Prophet loved most out of his companions, 'A'ishah named Abu Ubaydah as the person he loved the most after Abu Bakr and 'Umar\u003cbr\u003eAba 'Ubaydah's qualities of leadership and knowledge meant the Prophet regularly appointed him to lead the Muslims in campaigns\u003cbr\u003eOn one campaign, Abu 'Ubaydah demonstrated wisdom in commanding the starved Muslims to eat from a whale carcass, which in ordinary circumstances would have been unlawful - the Prophet approved Abū 'Ubaydah's decision\u003cbr\u003eHe demonstrated a feat of unmatched devotion to the cause of Allah in the Battle of Badr when he was hunted by his father, reluctantly killing him and earning the praise and recognition of Allah in the Qur'an for the firmness of his belief in testing circumstances\u003cbr\u003eIn Uhud, he displayed another act of selfless love for the Proph- et and the path of Allah by breaking his teeth in removing metal links from the wounded face of the beloved Prophet\u003cbr\u003eBefore Abu Bakr was chosen as the leader of the Muslims, he initially nominated Abu 'Ubaydah, giving him his approval to lead the Muslims\u003cbr\u003eHe exhibited no remonstrance or animosity when replaced as leader of the Muslim army by Khalid ibn al-Walid leadership of Abu Bakr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quillspire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47835621753070,"sku":"Promised-Paradise-islamicbrands-23","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/0843\/4926\/files\/Promised_Paradise_Stories_of_the_Ten_Companions_Promised_Jannah_by_Ali_Hammuda_01.jpg?v=1774889846","url":"https:\/\/islamicbrands.org\/products\/promised-paradise-stories-of-the-ten-companions-promised-jannah-by-ali-hammuda","provider":"Islamicbrands.org","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
