The questioner says: There are those who say that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had no knowledge, and that he only reached his high status through his actions. What is your response to that?
Answer:
If Abu Bakr had no knowledge, then who among those who had knowledge was he? This speaker is more knowledgeable than Abu Bakr? Glory be to Allah. The ignorance of some people reaches this extent. Abu Bakr is the best of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in knowledge and action. He is the best of them in knowledge and action. There is no doubt about this. Yes.
