Question:

The scholars have explained it. If you travel to al-Madinah with the intention of praying in al-Masjid al-Nabawi and you pray there,

You greet the Messenger first, then you move back a little and greet 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, then you move a little to the east and greet Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, then 'Umar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, and 'Umar are three: first the Messenger, then 'Umar, and Abu Bakr is behind the Messenger. Abu Bakr is behind the Messenger, aligned with the shoulder of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then 'Umar is aligned with the shoulder of Abu Bakr, then three. Then.
