"عَنْ عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيق قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ بِوَجْهه فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنكُمُ اليَوْمَ صَائمًا؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله لَمْ أُحَدِّثْ نَفْسِى بالصَّوْم الْبَارِحَةَ فَأصْبَحْتُ مُفْطِرًا، فَقَالَ أبُو بَكْرٍ: لِكنْ حَدثْتُ نَفْسِى بِالصَّومِ الْبَارِحَةَ فَأَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا، فَقَالَ رسَولُ الله ﷺ هَلْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ الْيَوْم عَادَ مَرِيضًا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله لَمْ نَبْرحْ فكَيْفَ نَعُودُ الْمَرِيضَ؟ فَقَاَل أَبُو بَكْرٍ: بَلَغَنِى أنَّ أخِى عَبْدَ الرَّحْمِن بْنَ عَوْف شَاكٍ فَجَعَلْتُ طَرِيقِى عَلَيْهِ لأَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ أَصْبَح، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: هَلْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدُّ أَطْعَمَ الْيَوْمَ مِسْكِينًا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَر: يَا رَسُولَ الله صَلَّيْنَا ثُمَّ لَمْ نَبْرحْ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذا سَائِلٌ فَوَجَدْتُ كسْرَةً مِنْ خُبْزِ الشَّعِيرِ فِى يَد عَبْد الرحمن فَأخذْتُها فَدَفَعْتُها إِلَيهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ: أَنْتَ فَأَبْشِرْ بالْجَنَّةِ، فَتَنَفَّسَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: وَاهًا لِلْجَنَّةِ، فَقَالَ رسُولُ الله ﷺ كَلِمَةً أَرْضَى بهَا عُمَرَ: عُمَرُ زَعَم أَنَّه لَم يُردِ خَيرًا قَطُّ إلَّا سَبَقَهُ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ".

"On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr al-Siddiq, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer, then turned to his companions with his face and said: 'Who among you has fasted today?' 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I did not intend to fast last night, so I woke up not fasting.' Abu Bakr said: 'But I intended last night to fast, so I woke up fasting.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Has anyone among you visited a sick person today?' 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have not left, so how could we visit the sick?' Abu Bakr said: 'I heard that my brother 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf was ill, so I made my way to him to see how he was in the morning.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Has anyone among you fed a poor person today?' 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we prayed and then did not leave.' Abu Bakr said: 'I entered the mosque and there was a beggar, and I found a piece of barley bread in the hand of 'Abd al-Rahman, so I took it and gave it to him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You, then rejoice in Paradise.' 'Umar breathed deeply and said: 'Wah, for Paradise!' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said a word with which he pleased 'Umar: 'Umar claims that he never intended any good except that Abu Bakr preceded him to it.'"
