حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ قَالَ: نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: نَا عُمَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أُسَيْرِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ سَجَّوْهُ بِثَوْبٍ فَارْتَجَّتِ الْمَدِينَةُ بِالْبُكَاءِ، وَدُهِشَ النَّاسُ كَيَوْمِ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مُسْرِعًا مُسْتَرْجِعًا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: الْيَوْمَ انْقَطَعَتْ خِلَافَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي فِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: رَحِمَكَ اللهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كُنْتَ أَوَّلَ الْقَوْمِ إِسْلَامًا، وَأَخْلَصَهُمْ إِيمَانًا، وَأَشَدَّهُمْ يَقِينًا، وَأَخْوَفَهُمْ لِلهِ، وَأَعْظَمَهُمْ غَنَاءً، وَأَحْوَطَهُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ، وَأَحْدَبَهُمْ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَآمَنَهُمْ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، وَأَحْسَنَهُمْ صُحْبَةً، وَأَفْضَلَهُمْ مَنَاقِبَ، وَأَكْثَرَهُمْ سَوَابِقَ، وَأَرْفَعَهُمْ دَرَجَةً، وَأَقْرَبَهُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِهِ، وَأَشْبَهَهُمْ بِهِ هَدْيًا، وَخُلُقًا وَسَمْتًا، وَأَوْثَقَهُمْ عِنْدَهُ، وَأَشْرَفَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً، وَأَكْرَمَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَزَاكَ اللهُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَعَنْ رَسُولِهِ، وَعَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا، صَدَّقْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ حِينَ كَذَّبَهُ النَّاسُ فَسَمَّاكَ فِي كِتَابِهِ صِدِّيقًا، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ مُحَمَّدٌ، وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَآسَيْتَهُ حِينَ بَخِلُوا، وَقُمْتَ مَعَهُ حِينَ عَنْهُ قَعَدُوا، وَصَحِبْتَهُ فِي الشِّدَّةِ أَكْرَمَ الصُّحْبَةِ، وَالْمُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ رَفِيقُهُ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ وَمَوَاطِنِ الْكُرْبَةِ، خَلَفْتَهُ فِي أُمَّتِهِ بِأَحْسَنِ الْخِلَافَةِ، حِينَ ارْتَدَّ النَّاسُ، وَقُمْتَ بِدِينِ اللهِ قِيَامًا لَمْ يَقُمْهُ خَلِيفَةُ نَبِيٍّ قَطُّ، قَوَيْتَ حِينَ ضَعُفَ أَصْحَابُكَ، وَنَهَضْتَ حِينَ وَهَنُوا، وَلَزِمْتَ مَنَاهِجَ رَسُولِهِ بِرَغْمِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَغَيْظِ الْكَافِرِينَ، وَقُمْتَ بِالْأَمْرِ حِينَ فَشَلُوا بِنُورِ اللهِ إِذْ وَقَفُوا كُنْتَ أَعْلَاهُمْ فَوْقًا وَأَقَلَّهُمْ كَلَامًا، وَأَصْوَبَهُمْ مَنْطِقًا، وَأَطْوَلَهُمْ صَمْتًا، وَأَبْلَغَهُمْ قَوْلًا، وَكُنْتَ أَكْبَرَهُمْ رَأْيًا، وَأَشْجَعَهُمْ قَلْبًا، وَأَشَدَّهُمْ يَقِينَّا، وَأَحْسَنَهُمْ عَمَلًا، وَأَعْرَفَهُمْ بِالْأُمُورِ. كُنْتَ لِلدِّينِ يَعْسُوبًا وَكُنْتَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَبًا رَحِيمًا إِذَا صَارُوا عَلَيْكَ عِيَالًا فَحَمَلْتَ أَثْقَالَ مَا عَنْهُ ضَعُفُوا، وَحَفِظْتَ مَا أَضَاعُوا، وَرَعَيْتَ مَا أَهْمَلُوا، وَصَبَرْتَ إِذْ جَزَعُوا فَأَدْرَكْتَ آثَارَ مَا طَلَبُوا وَنَالُوا بِكَ مَا لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا، كُنْتَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا صَبًّا وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ غَيْثًا وَخَصْبًا فُطِرْتَ بِغِنَاهَا وَقِرْتَ بِحِمَاهَا وَذَهَبْتَ بِفَضَائِلِهَا وَأَحْرَزْتَ سَوَابِقَهَا لَمْ تَقْلُلْ حُجَّتُكَ، وَلَمْ يَزِغْ قَلْبُكَ، وَلَمْ تَضْعُفْ بَصِيرَتُكَ، وَلَمْ تَجْبُنْ نَفْسُكَ. كُنْتَ كَالْجَبَلِ لَا تُحَرِّكُهُ الْعَوَاصِفُ، وَلَا تُزِيلُهُ الْقَوَاصِفُ، كُنْتَ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَمَنَّ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ فِي صُحْبَتِكَ وَذَاتِ يَدِكَ وَكَمَا قَالَ: ضَعِيفًا فِي بَدَنِكَ قَوِيًّا فِي أَمْرِ اللهِ مُتَوَاضِعًا عَظِيمًا عِنْدَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ جَلِيلًا فِي الْأَرْضِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ فِيكَ مَهْمَزٌ، وَلَا لِقَائِلٍ فِيكَ مَغْمَزٌ، وَلَا فِيكَ مَطْمَعٌ، وَلَا عِنْدَكَ هَوَادَةٌ لِأَحَدٍ، الضَّعِيفُ الذَّلِيلُ عِنْدَكَ قَوِيٌّ حَتَّى تَأْخُذَ لَهُ بِحَقِّهِ، الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ عِنْدَكَ ذَلِيلٌ ضَعِيفٌ حَتَّى يُؤْخَذَ مِنْهُ الْحَقُّ، وَالْقَرِيبُ وَالْبَعِيدُ عِنْدَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ سَوَاءٌ. شَأْنُكَ الْحَقُّ وَالصِّدْقُ وَالرِّفْقُ قَوْلُكَ فَأَقْلَعْتَ وَقَدْ نُهِجَ السَّبِيلُ وَاعْتَدَلَ بِكَ الدِّينُ، وَقَوِيَ الْإِيمَانُ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ اللهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ. فَسَبَقْتَ وَاللهِ سَبْقًا بَعِيدًا وَأَتْعَبْتَ مَنْ بَعْدَكَ إِتْعَابًا شَدِيدًا وَفُزْتَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَعَظُمَتْ رَزِيَّتُكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهَزَّتْ مُصِيبَتُكَ الْأَنَامَ فَإِنَّا لِلَّهَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، رَضِينَا عَنِ اللهِ قَضَاءَهُ وَسَلَّمْنَا لِلهِ أَمْرَهُ، فَلَنْ يُصَابَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِكَ أَبَدًا كُنْتَ لِلدِّينِ عُدَّةً وَكَهْفًا، وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ حِصْنًا وَفِئَةً وَأُنْسًا، وَعَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ غِلْظَةً وَغَيْظًا، فَأَلْحَقَكَ اللهُ بِنَبِيِّكَ، وَلَا حَرَمَنَا اللهُ أَجْرَكَ، وَلَا أَضَلَّنَا بَعْدَكَ، قَالَ: وَسَكَتَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى قَضَى كَلَامَهُ ثُمَّ بَكَى أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالُوا: صَدَقْتَ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ.

✧ When Abu Bakr ؓ died, they shrouded him in a cloth, and Madinah shook with weeping, and the people were stunned as on the day the Messenger of God ﷺ was taken. 'Ali b. Abi Talib came hastening, saying 'Indeed we belong to God, and indeed to Him we return,' and he said: 'Today the succession of prophethood has been cut off.' He stood at the door of the house where Abu Bakr was and said: 'May God have mercy on you, Abu Bakr. You were the first of the people in Islam, the most sincere of them in faith, the strongest of them in certainty, the most fearful of them of God, the greatest of them in support, the most protective of them toward His Messenger, the most affectionate of them toward Islam, the most trustworthy of them over his companions, the best of them in companionship, the most excellent of them in virtues, the most numerous of them in precedents, the highest of them in rank, the closest of them to his Messenger, the most similar to him in guidance, character, and demeanor, the most reliable of them in his sight, the most honorable of them in station, and the most noble of them to him. May God reward you well on behalf of Islam, His Messenger, and the Muslims. You believed the Messenger of God when the people denied him, so He named you in His Book al-Siddiq, saying: "And the one who brought the truth—Muhammad—and the one who believed in it—Abu Bakr." You supported him when they were miserly, you stood with him when they sat back, and you accompanied him in hardship with the noblest companionship. The one on whom tranquility descended was your companion in the emigration and in the places of distress. You succeeded him in his community with the best succession when the people apostatized, and you upheld God's religion with a stand that no successor of a prophet ever did. You were strong when your companions were weak, you rose when they faltered, and you adhered to the paths of his Messenger despite the spite of the hypocrites and the rage of the disbelievers. You undertook the affair when they failed, with God's light when they halted. You were the highest of them in elevation, the least of them in speech, the most correct of them in expression, the longest of them in silence, the most eloquent of them in words, the greatest of them in judgment, the bravest of them in heart, the strongest of them in certainty, the best of them in deeds, and the most knowledgeable of them in affairs. You were a chief for the religion, and you were a merciful father to the believers when they became dependent on you, so you carried the burdens they were too weak to bear, you preserved what they neglected, you tended what they abandoned, and you were patient when they despaired. Thus you attained the traces of what they sought, and through you they obtained what they had not expected. You were upon the disbelievers a pouring punishment, and for the Muslims rain and abundance. You were created with its richness, you dwelt in its protection, you attained its virtues, and you secured its precedents. Your argument did not diminish, your heart did not deviate, your insight did not weaken, and your soul did not falter. You were like a mountain that storms could not move and gales could not dislodge. You were as the Messenger of God ﷺ said: the most gracious of people to him in your companionship and your wealth, and as he said: weak in body, strong in the affair of God, humble, great in the sight of the Muslims, majestic on earth. No one had any fault to find in you, no speaker any criticism, no one any hope of favoritism, nor did you show leniency to anyone. The weak and abased were strong in your eyes until you secured their rights; the strong and mighty were abased and weak in your eyes until the right was taken from them; the near and the far were equal to you in that. Your concern was truth, sincerity, and gentleness. Your word was decisive, and the path was made clear, and by you the religion was set aright, faith was strengthened, and God's command prevailed, even if the disbelievers disliked it. By God, you raced ahead with a far-reaching lead, and you exhausted those after you with great exhaustion. You have attained Paradise, and your loss was magnified in heaven, and your calamity shook creation. Indeed we belong to God, and indeed to Him we return. We are content with God's decree and submit to His command. The Muslims will never be afflicted after the Messenger of God ﷺ with the like of you. You were for the religion a provision and a refuge, for the Muslims a fortress, a support, and a comfort, and upon the hypocrites harshness and wrath. May God join you with your Prophet, and may He not deprive us of your reward, and may He not lead us astray after you.' He said: The people were silent until he finished his speech, then the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ wept and said: 'You have spoken the truth, O cousin of the Messenger of God ﷺ.'
