Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: If I were to choose a bosom friend I would have definitely chosen Abu Bakr as my bosom friend, but he is my brother and my companion and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has taken your brother and companion (meaning Prophet himself) as a friend.
Rasuulka SCW waxuu yiri:- Qofka iigu mannasha badan oo maalkiisa iyo saaxiibtinnimadiisa oo dhan gacanta la ii geliyey waa Abuu Bakar, haddii aanan anigu mid mutacalliq ahayn waayo waxaan anigu xiriir toos ah la leeyahay Allaah, Abuu Bakar oo kaliya baan ku xirnaan lahaa oo aan saaxiib ka yeelan lahaa, laakiin walaallimada islaaminada iyo kalgacaylkiisa qofka aan u haayo waa Abuu Bakar, albaabadaa masjidka oo dhami hala xiro, albaabka Abuu Bakar mooyaan.Waxaa Wariyey Bukhaari.
