حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ قَالَ
خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ وَقالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَيَّرَ عَبْدًا بَيْنَ الدُّنْيا وَبَيْنَ ما عِنْدَهُ، فاخْتارَ ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ ما عِنْدَ اللَّهِ». قالَ: فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَعَجِبْنا لِبُكائِهِ: أَنْ يُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عن عَبْدٍ خُيِّرَ، فَكانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هو الْمُخَيَّرَ، وَكانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمَنا، فقالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَمَنِّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمالِهِ أَبا بَكْرٍ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا غَيْرَ رَبِّي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبا بَكْرٍ، وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الإِسْلَامِ وَمَوَدَّتُهُ، لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ بابٌ إِلَّا سُدَّ إِلَّا بابَُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed the people and said, “Allah gave a servant the choice between this world and what is with Him, and that servant chose what is with Allah.” Abu Bakr wept, and we wondered at his weeping merely because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had spoken of a servant who had been given a choice. It was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself who had been given that choice, and Abu Bakr was the most knowledgeable among us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, “Among all people, Abu Bakr has favored me most through his companionship and his wealth. Were I to take an intimate friend other than my Lord, I would take Abu Bakr as an intimate friend. Rather, there is the brotherhood and affection of Islam. No door into the mosque shall remain without being closed except Abu Bakr’s door.”
