Question:
Is there anyone other than Abu Bakr al-Siddiq who is called one of the Siddiqin?
Answer:
Siddiqiyyah (friendship with Allah) applies to anyone who possesses this quality; whoever possesses this quality is a siddiq. However, we do not assert this for anyone with certainty, but we hope for it. Therefore, they compare Imam Ahmad to Abu Bakr and call him the second siddiq, because Abu Bakr stood in support of the religion in a manner similar to how Abu Bakr stood in support of the religion during the apostasy. Yes.
