أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَعُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَيَّرَ عَبْدًا بَيْنَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا مَا شَاءَ وَبَيْنَ لِقَائِهِ فَاخْتَارَ لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ» فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَقَالَ بَلْ نَفْدِيكَ بِآبَائِنَا وَأَبْنَائِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اسْكُتْ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَمَنَّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنَ النَّاسِ لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَوَدَّتُهُ أَلَا لَا يَبْقِيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَوْخَةٌ إِلَّا سُدَّتْ إِلَّا خَوْخَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَقُلْتُ «الْعَجَبُ يُخْبِرُنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ عَبْدًا خَيَّرَهُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَهَذَا يَبْكِي وَإِذَا الْمُخَيَّرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا الْبَاكِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَعْلَمُنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave a sermon and said: "Indeed Allah has given a servant a choice between granting him as much of the splendor of this world as He wills and meeting Him, and he chose meeting his Lord." Abu Bakr wept and said: "Rather we ransom you with our fathers and our sons." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Be quiet, O Abu Bakr." Then he said: "Indeed the most gracious of people to me in his companionship and his wealth is Abu Bakr. If I were to take a bosom friend from among people, I would have taken Abu Bakr, but there is the brotherhood of Islam and its affection. Indeed no small door shall remain in the mosque but that it is closed, except the small door of Abu Bakr." Abu Sa'id said: I said: "How strange! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ tells us that a servant was given a choice by Allah between this world and the Hereafter, and this one is weeping! And behold, the one given the choice was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the one weeping was Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr was the most knowledgeable of us about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
