Thread: How Hazrat Ali describe Hazrat Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu

As narrated by Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu):
A villager came to Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) and asked, "O Ameer-ul-Mumineen! Is Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) in Paradise?"

This question hurt Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) considerably. So he said, "I wish I had never come to the world. This statement has never been made by anyone else before, neither by Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) nor by any other Muslim after him. Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu) was always with the Messenger of Allah; he was his vizier and counsellor. He succeeded him as the Khalifa after his passing away. He who denies this fact will become a disbeliever. O villager! Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhu) sent for me towards his passing away. He said to me, 'O my darling brother! I am going to pass away soon. When I die, wash me with those blessed hands of yours with which you washed the Messenger of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! Wrap me in my shroud and put me in my coffin! Take by corpse to the entrance of Hujra-i-sa'adat! Say unto Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam): Abu Bakr is at the door. He asks for permission to enter.'

"When Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) passed away, I did whatever he had told me to do. When we put his coffin in front of the door of the Hujra-i-sa'adat and I asked for permission, we heard a voice saying, 'Bring the darling near the darling.' Therefore, we buried Hazrat Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) besides the Messenger of Allah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)."

It is stated in a Hadith Shareef that Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Fear Allah as you talk about my Ashaab! Fear Allah lest you should show any disrespect in a conversation about my Ashaab! After me, never have a bad opinion of them. He who loves them does so because he loves me. And he who bears hostility towards them is my enemy."

A Dua that was made by Hazrat Imam Rabbani (rahmatullahi alaihi): "ILAHI! MAKE OUR DU'A AND SALAAM REACH YOU BELOVED PROPHET (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) AND HIS AHLE BAYT (RADI ALLAHUM AJMA'IN), AND GIVE THEM KHAIR AND BARAKAH IN A MANNER AS YOU LIKE, AS MANY TIMES AS THE NUMBER OF YOUR CREATURES AND AS HEAVY AS YOUR ARSH. AMEEN. MAY HAMD BE TO ALLAH TA'ALA, AND MAY DUAS AND SALAAMS BE TO THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM) TILL THE END OF THE WORLD! AMEEN."
