Hadrat Abu Bakr SIDDIQ

HADRAT ABU BAKR
people gathered around Masjid-e-Nabawi and saw Hadrat
‘Umar ra standing there with his sword in his hand.
Without paying attention to anything else, he got off his
horse and went straight to Hadrat ‘A’ishah’s ra room. Lifting the
cloth that was covering the face of the Holy Prophet sa he kissed
his forehead and said, “How wholesome you are, whether alive
or dead!” Tears began to stream from his eyes, and he said,
“What would I not have sacrificed for you! I swear by Allah,
death will not come upon you twice.” He then went to Masjid-e-
Nabawi, where Hadrat ‘Umar ra , overcome by emotion, was
saying, “Those who say that the Holy Prophet sa has died are
hypocrites. He has not died, but has only gone to Allah for a
few days, and then he will return.” Hadrat Abu Bakr ra realised
that Hadrat ‘Umar ra was saying this because he had been totally
overpowered by grief. He said, “‘Umar, compose yourself ! Be
quiet!” But Hadrat ‘Umar ra was not ready to listen to anyone,
and kept talking.
At last Hadrat Abu Bakr ra had to speak up, and said,
“O People, listen! Whoever worshipped Muhammad sa should
know that Muhammad sa has died. But, whoever worshipped
Allah, should know that God is alive and He will never die.”
