The Meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) Saying: "You are the companions of Yusuf"

Question:
What is the meaning of the Messenger's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to his wives, "You are the companions of Yusuf"?

Answer:
This refers to when he said, during his illness (peace and blessings be upon him), "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." He said to Aisha, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, he is a man who is easily moved; if he stands in your place, the people will not hear him because of his weeping." He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. You are the companions of Yusuf," meaning I command and you say such and such. Yes.

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me...

Answer:
Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) has evidence for his caliphate. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) placed him in front in prayer, so they placed him in front in the caliphate. They said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is pleased with you for our religion, but we are not pleased with you for our worldly affairs.
