In the part Two Apples of the Eye of Muslims superiority of hadrat Abû Bakr and hadrat Omar is explained; in the part The First Fitna in Islam events between Ashâb-ı-kirâm are explained beautifully from the pen of hadrat Imâm-ı Rabbâni Ahmad Fârûkî Sarhandi who explains that to love all of Ashâb-ı-kirâm is a fundamental condition of being Ahl-i-sunnat.

Abû Bakr – How could I go ahead of you? On the day when<br />
Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ gave his daughter<br />
Fâtima-t-uz-zahrâ ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anhâ’ in marriage to you,<br />
he stated, “I have given the best of women to the best of men.”<br />
Alî – I cannot go ahead of you, for Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu<br />
’alaihi wa sallam’ stated, “Let him who wants to see Ibrâhîm<br />
(Abraham) ‘alaihis-salâm’ look at Abû Bakr’s face.”<br />
Abû Bakr – I can not go ahead of you, for Rasûlullah ‘sall-<br />
Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ stated, “Let him who wants to see<br />
Âdam’s ‘alaihis-salâm’ tenderness and Yûsuf’s ‘alaihis-salâm’<br />
beautiful moral qualities look at Alî!”<br />
Alî – I can not enter before you. For, the Messenger of Allah<br />
‘alaihis-salâm’ asked, “Yâ Rabbî! Who loves me most, and who is<br />
the best of my Sahâba?” Jenâb-i-Haqq answered, “Yâ Muhammad<br />
‘alaihis-salâm’! He is Abû Bakr as-Siddîq.”<br />
Abû Bakr – I can not go ahead of you. For, the Messenger<br />
‘alaihis-salâm’ stated, “So (good) is the person whom I give<br />
knowledge that Allâhu ta’âlâ loves him, and so do I; I love him<br />
very much.” You have been the gate to the town of knowledge.<br />
Alî – I can not go before you, for the Messenger ‘alaihis-salâm’<br />
stated, “<strong>The</strong>re is a sign that says, ‘Abû Bakr, the Habîbullah (the<br />
Darling of Allah),’ on the gates of Paradise.”<br />
Abû Bakr – I cannot go before you. For, during the Holy War<br />
of Hayber the Messenger of Allah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’<br />
handed the flag to you and stated, “This flag is a gift from the<br />
Melîk-i-ghâlib to Alî bin Abî Tâlib.”<br />
Alî – How can I go before you? <strong>The</strong> Messenger ‘alaihis-salâm’<br />
said to you, “Yâ Abâ Bakr! You stand for my sight, which sees,<br />
and for my heart, which knows.”<br />
Abû Bakr – I can not go ahead of you. For, the Messenger<br />
‘alaihis-salâm’ stated, “On the Rising Day Alî will come (to the<br />
place of assembly) on the back of an animal of Paradise. Jenâb-i-<br />
Haqq will say, ‘Yâ Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’! How beautiful a<br />
father your father Ibrâhîm Halîl is; and how beautiful a brother<br />
your brother Alî bin Abî Tâlib is.’ ”<br />
Alî – I can not go before you. For, the Messenger ‘alaihissalâm’<br />
stated, “On the Rising Day the angel named Ridwân, who<br />
