Virtues of the Shaykhain i.e. Sayyidina Abu Bakr &
Sayyidina Umar
The Beloved Messenger of Allah would come out to his
companions whilst they were sitting together. None would lift their eyes to
look at the Beloved Messenger, except for Sayyidina Abu Bakr and Sayyidina
Umar. They would gaze upon him and he would gaze upon them, and they would
smile at him and he would smile at them. This demonstrates the exclusive closeness
to the Beloved Messenger of Allah granted to the two esteemed Companions.
Sayyidina Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported that the Beloved
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “…And as for
my two deputies from the people of earth, they are Abu Bakr and Umar.”
Sayyidina Abu Arwa ad-Dawsi said, “I was with the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, (seated) and then Abu Bakr and Umar
came up, so he said, ‘Praise belongs to Allah Who has helped me through you
two.’”
A man came to Sayyidina Ali ibn Hussain and said, “What was
the position of Abu Bakr and Umar with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace?” He replied, “Just like their position with respect to
him this very hour.” This is referring to the fact that they are buried beside
the Beloved Messenger.
