Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is reported that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) gave away all his wealth in charity, and when he was asked about it, he said, "I have left for them Allah and His Messenger." He asks: What is the authenticity of this hadith? And does it conflict with what Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas intended?
Answer:
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq has a distinct quality in the strength of his faith and the firmness of his certainty. If a person reaches the level of certainty and strength of faith like that of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, then he may give away all his wealth in charity. Yes.
