" عَنِ الْحَارِث، عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا خَطَبْتُ بِنْتَ أَبي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَجَدَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِىُّ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مُقْبلًا تَهَلَّلَ وَجْهُ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَرَحًا فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! رَأَيْتُ في وَجْهِكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرْتَ إِلَى أَبي بَكْرٍ مُقْبِلًا تَهَلَّلَ وَجْهُكَ إِلَيْهِ فَرَحًا؟ ! فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: مَا يَمْنَعُنِى أَنْ يَتَهَلَّلَ وَجْهِى إِلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ فَرَحًا، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ إِسْلاَمًا، وَأَقْدَمُهُمُ إِيمَانًا، وَأَطوَلُهُمْ صَمْتًا، وَأَكْثَرهُمْ مَنَاقِبَ، رَفِيقي في الهِجْرَةِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَة، وَأَنِيسِى في وَحْشَةِ الغَارِ، وَمِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ ضَجِيعِى في قَبْرِى، كَيْفَ لاَ يَتَهَلَّلُ وجْهِى إِلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ فَرَحًا؟ !

"From al-Harith, from 'Ali, he said: When I proposed to the daughter of Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, the Prophet ﷺ was displeased. When the Prophet ﷺ saw Abu Bakr approaching, the face of the Prophet ﷺ brightened with joy. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I saw in your face what I disliked, but when you looked at Abu Bakr approaching, your face brightened with joy?' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'What prevents my face from brightening with joy toward Abu Bakr? Abu Bakr is the first of the people to embrace Islam, the earliest in faith, the most silent, and the most abundant in virtues. He was my companion in the migration to Madinah and my companion in the loneliness of the cave, and after that he will be my companion in my grave. How could my face not brighten with joy toward Abu Bakr?'"
