Quranic verse (9:40) honors Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) in five ways: #Read #Learn #Knowledge #Benefit #Reminder

#Firstly: The Quran refers to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) as the “second of the two” citing Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) as the sole partner of the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) in this miraculous event.

This was indeed such a great honor that the Ansar forfeit their right to Caliphate and gave it instead to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) based on this verse alone. In fact, Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) and the Prophet’s journey is so monumental that it is the day we start our Hijri calender from.

#Secondly: In this verse of the Quran, we see that Allah refers to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) using the term “sahib” (companion) showing the closeness of the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه).

In fact, the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) chose his closest companion to accompany him on this very dangerous journey; nobody other than Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) was given the honor of escorting the Prophet to Medinah.

It could be said that Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) was the personal bodyguard of the Prophet of Islam, the one man trusted enough to handle the delicate mission of transporting Allah’s Messenger (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) to safety and away from the clutches of the scheming infidels.

#Thirdly: The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) lovingly reassures Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) to “grieve not.”

This is the Prophet’s own personal solace and affection being given to this man, and so how can it be then that the Shia would like to curse him?

Did the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) curse him?
#No, instead he reassured him and told him: don’t worry, everything will be alright.

This sentence of the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) proves his close relationship to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه), showing that he cannot see Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) being in grief.

#Fourthly: Most importantly, the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) continues and tells Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) that “Allah is with us.”
This is the absolute negation of the Shia paradigm.

The Shia say that Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) is doomed by Allah, but here we see that the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) says that Allah iswith Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه).

And indeed it must be in a positive light since the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) included himself by using the word “us.”

The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) is reassuring Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) that no harm can come to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) because He has the special protection of Allah Himself.

If it had been a Shia in the cave with Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه), then the Shia would have said to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) that “Allah is against you” and not “Allah is with you.”

#Fifthly: Allah sent his Sakinah (serenity, peace, tranquility, etc.) down upon Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه).

Allah sends Sakinah down upon the believers; if Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) was an evil-doer as the Shia claim, then Allah would have sent his Wrath upon him, not his Sakinah.

The Shia consider Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) to be an agent of Satan. Would Allah send his Sakinah down upon Satan?
