Abu Bakr al-Siddiq: The Siddiq, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Shahid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Salim.
The questioner : I think, if we look, O Shaykh, at the virtue of Abu Bakr and 'Umar, we would say that they are better than the martyrs.
The Shaykh : Yes, the Siddiqun are better, and 'Umar was a shahid (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Bakr was a siddiq and 'Umar was a shahid. This is why, when someone shook the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman were with him, he said to him, "Be calm," and in another narration, "Be silent, for you have a Prophet, a Siddiq, and two Shahids."
