Abu Sa'id reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sat on the pulpit and said:Allah gave a choice to His servant that he may opt the beauties of the world or that which is with Him and the servant chose that which was with Him. Thereupon Abu Bakr wept and he wept bitterly and said: Let our fathers and our mothers be taken as ransom for you. It was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who had been given the choice and Abu Bakr knew it better than us, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is reported to have said: Behold, of all people the most generous toward me in regard to his companionship and his property was Abu Bakr and were I to choose anyone as my bosom friend, I would have chosen Abu Bakr as my dear friend, but (for him) I cherish Islamic brotherliness and love. There shall be left open no window in the mosque except Abu Bakr's window

حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر بن يحيى بن خالد، حدثنا معن، حدثنا مالك، عن ابي، النضر عن عبيد بن حنين، عن ابي سعيد، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جلس على المنبر فقال " عبد خيره الله بين ان يوتيه زهرة الدنيا وبين ما عنده فاختار ما عنده " . فبكى ابو بكر وبكى فقال فديناك باباينا وامهاتنا . قال فكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم هو المخير وكان ابو بكر اعلمنا به . وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان امن الناس على في ماله وصحبته ابو بكر ولو كنت متخذا خليلا لاتخذت ابا بكر خليلا ولكن اخوة الاسلام لا تبقين في المسجد خوخة الا خوخة ابي بكر
