- .... We know with certainty that Abu Bakr did not act with any harm towards Ali and al-Zubayr, nor even towards Sa'd ibn Ubadah, who initially and finally remained distant from his pledge. The utmost that could be said is: that he acted at the house to see if there was anything from the wealth of Allah that was being divided and to give it to its rightful owner. However, he then saw that if he left it to them, it would be permissible, as it is allowable to give them from the wealth of al-fay' ....

9030 - Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf said: I entered upon Abu Bakr to pay him a visit during his illness from which he would die, and I greeted him and asked: How did you wake up? He sat up straighter and said: I woke up, thanks to Allah, free of ailment. Then he said: I am in a state of pain, as you see, and you have made me preoccupied with a matter alongside my pain. I have made you a testament after me and chosen for you the best of you in my opinion, so all of you are hoping for him, with your noses raised, that he might be the one in charge. I see the world approaching, although it has not yet fully arrived; it is coming, and you will find your homes adorned with silk curtains and cushions of brocade, and you will long for beds of coarse Azeri wool. It would be as if one of you were sitting on the thorns of the sughad plant. By Allah, it is better for one of you to be sent forth and have his neck struck off unjustly than to wander in the overwhelming fog of the world. Then he said: I do not regret anything except for three things I did, and I wish I had not done them, and three things I did not do, and I wish I had done them, and three things I wish I had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) about. As for the three things I wish I had not done, I wish I had not uncovered the house of Fatimah and had left it alone, and that I had closed it off from conflict. I also wish that on the day of the Saqifah of Banu Sa'ida I had thrown the matter into the hands of one of two men, either Abu Ubayda or Umar, who would have been the Commander of the Faithful, while I remained his minister. I wish that when I sent Khalid ibn al-Walid to the people of apostasy, I had stayed in Dhul-Qisah, for if the Muslims were victorious, they would prevail, and if not, I would be a support and reinforcement.

Al-Tabarani - al-Mu'jam al-Kabir - al-'Asharah
The lineage of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, and his name was (ra) Abu Bakr Abdullah ibn
Uthman ibn Amir ibn Amr ibn Kab ibn Sa'd ibn Taym ibn Murrah.
Among the narrations that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (ra) transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny),
Volume: (1) - Page Number: (62)
43 - Abu al-Zunbaq Ruwh ibn al-Farj al-Masri narrated to us, saying: Sa'id ibn Ufair narrated to me, from 'Alwan ibn Dawud al-Bajjali, from Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, from his father, who said: I entered upon Abu Bakr (ra) to visit him in his illness from which he would die, and I greeted him and asked how he was. He sat up straight and said: I have awakened, by Allah's grace, free from ailment. He replied: "I am as you see, in pain, and you have given me a concern alongside my pain. I have made you a covenant after me and chosen for you the best of you in my view, so each of you has shown a swelling on your nose, hoping that the matter will be for him. I see the world advancing, although it has not fully accepted, and it is coming. You will soon find your homes adorned with silken curtains and cushions of brocade, and you will long for the simplicity of coarse wool. It would be as if one of you were on the thorns of the shrub, and by Allah, it is better for one of you to step forward and have his neck struck down in a situation not involving punishment than to wander in the overwhelming nature of the world." Then he said: "I do not regret anything except for three actions I took, and I wish I had not done them, and three I did not do, and I wish I had done them, and three I wish I had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) about." As for the three that he wished he had not done: he said, "I wish I had not uncovered the house of Fatimah and had left it alone, and that war had remained closed around her." He also wished that on the day of the Saqifah of Banu Sa'ida, he had thrown the matter onto the shoulders of one of two men: Abu Ubaidah or Umar, so that he could have been the Commander of the Faithful and he the minister. He wished that when he was in his position, he had appointed Khalid ibn al-Walid to the people of the ridda and had stayed at Dhul-Qusah. If the Muslims were victorious, they would prevail, and if not, he would be a support or reinforcement. As for the actions he wished he had taken: he said, "I wish that when the Ash'ath was brought to me as a captive, I had struck his neck, for it seems to me that he would have been the worst of those who could be brought before me." He wished that when the Fojah al-Sulami was brought to him, he had not burned him but had killed him, either free or had released him successfully. He wished that when he had sent Khalid ibn al-Walid to Syria, he had sent Umar to Iraq, so he would have had his hands extended, one in the way of Allah, the Exalted and Almighty. As for the three things he wished he had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) about, he said: "I wish I had asked him who this matter would belong to, so that his family would not dispute it, and I wish I had asked him whether the Ansar had any role in this matter. I also wish I had asked him about aunt and niece, for I still have a need regarding them."

467 - I was told by Humayd who said: Uthman ibn Salih informed me, saying: Al-Layth ibn Sa'd ibn Abdul-Rahman al-Fahmi narrated to me, from Alulwan, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Humayd ibn Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf, that his father, Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf, visited Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah have mercy on him, in his illness from which he would pass away, and found him conscious. Abdul-Rahman said, "I woke up today, and الحمد لله, free of illness." Abu Bakr asked, "Do you think so?" Abdul-Rahman replied, "Yes." Abu Bakr said, "I am, indeed, in great pain from that and from what I faced from you, O group of Emigrants, which is greater than my pain, because I entrusted your affairs to the best of you in my view, and you all resent that with your noses, wanting the matter to be under you. Then you saw the world approaching, and it will continue to approach until you take silk curtains and cushions of brocade, and you will find it difficult to lie on Azarbaijan wool, just as one of you today would find it difficult to sleep on thorns." By Allah, it is better for one of you to step forward and have his neck struck off in a situation other than a legal punishment than to immerse yourself in the turmoil of this world. And you will be the first to lead people astray tomorrow, trying to drive them from the path, right and left, O Guide of the Path. It is only the dawn or the sea." Abdul-Rahman said, "So I said to him: Take it easy on yourself, may Allah have mercy on you, for this is only going to aggravate you about your condition. The people are, after all, in your situation between two men: one man saw what you saw and is with you, and the other man opposes you and is advising you with his opinion. Your companion is as you wish, and we do not know that you intended anything but good, even if you were indeed a righteous reformer." He fell silent, then said, "Yet, you are, الحمد لله, not grieving over anything in this world." He replied, "Yes, I do not grieve over anything from the world except for three things I did, and I wish I had left them, and three things I did not do, and I wish I had done them, and three things I wish I had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) about." As for the ones I wish I had left, I wish I had not uncovered the house of Fatimah for anything, even though they had closed it to me with war. I wish I had not burned Al-Fuja'ah al-Sulami; I wish I had killed him in battle or let him go unharmed, and not burned him with fire. I wish that on the day of the Saqifah of Banu Sa'idah, I had thrown the matter into the hands of one of the two men: Umar ibn al-Khattab or Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah, so that one of them could be the leader and I would be the minister." As for the things I did not do, I wish that when I was brought Al-Ash'ath ibn Qais al-Kindi as a captive, I had struck off his neck, for it seems to me that he will not see any evil except that he will assist it. I wish that when I sent Khalid ibn al-Walid to the people of apostasy, I had remained at Dhul-Qisstah, so that if the Muslims were victorious, they would rejoice, and if they were defeated, I would be in a position for encounter or reinforcement. I wish that when I sent Khalid to the Levant, I had sent Umar ibn al-Khattab to Iraq, so that I would have stretched out my hands, both of them, in the way of Allah. And as for the things I wish I had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) about, I wish I had asked him who this matter belongs to, so that no one would contest him. I also wish I had asked him, "Do the Ansar have a share in this matter?" I wish I had asked him about the inheritance of a niece and an aunt, for I have something in my heart regarding that.

I also wish that on the day of the Suffocation of Banu Sa'ida, I had thrown the matter into the hands of one of two men: Umar or Abu Ubayda, so that one of them could have been the leader and I the minister.
