"Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, was a trusted companion of the Prophet ﷺ . He held a position similar to that of a minister, and the Prophet used to consult him in all matters. Abu Bakr was the second to embrace Islam, the second in the cave during the migration to Madinah, and the second in the Battle of Badr. He was also buried next to the Prophet ﷺ , and no one was considered superior to him by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ثنا ابْنُ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ

«كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَكَانَ الْوَزِيرِ فَكَانَ يُشَاوِرُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِهِ وَكَانَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَكَانَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْغَارِ وَكَانَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْعَرِيشِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَكَانَ ثَانِيَةً فِي الْقَبْرِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقِدِّمُ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدًا» في رواته مجهول
