the Holy Prophet sa and stayed close by him, which in itself is a
testament to his bravery.
The examples already given in the Battle of Badr and Battle
of Uhud stand out as evidence of his courage.
Humility
One day Hadrat Abu Bakr ra saw a bird eating on a tree and
dropping some of the fruit on to the ground. He said,
“Congratulations, bird, on eating fruit and sitting on trees.
I wish I was a piece of fruit and that a bird would come and eat me.
O, bird, I swear that I wish I was a tree on the side of the road,
and a camel would pass by and eat me.”
He had a ring made and engraved on it, “A poor servant of
the Great and Exalted God”. And in his very first speech as Khalifah
he also demonstrated his immense humility, “O People! Although,
I have been made your Khalifah I am not better than any of you.
Help me in everything good that I do. If I start to do the wrong
thing, tell me.”
Service to others
Along with his deep love for Allah and His Messenger sa ,
Hadrat Abu Bakr ra also was very compassionate towards others.
