Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The rank of al-Siddiq was attributed to Abu Bakr. Does this rank materialize in anyone from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until the Day of Resurrection?
Answer:
A siddiq is one who is truthful. This is not specific to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). A siddiq is one who is very truthful and is never found to have lied. This is a siddiq. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1971Sahih (Darussalam) But the one who became famous for this and was known by this is Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). He is the best of the two siddiqs. He is the best of the two siddiqs. And this is not limited to him; rather, it can apply to anyone who possesses this characteristic: that he does not lie, he is truthful and always seeks the truth, and he does not intentionally lie. Yes.
