Ansāb al-ashrāf..vol3.p167,,, Mufīd, Muḥammad b. Muḥammad al-. Kitāb al-amālī..p79)
The conversion to Islam
The conversion of Abu Bakr to Islam is remembered to have occurred after Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).(11)( Ibn Hishām, ʿAbd al-Malik. Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'.vol1.p266,,, Ibn Saʿd, Muḥammad. Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā.vol3.p128,,, Kūfī, Ibn Abī Shayba al-. Al-Muṣannaf'.vol7.p498)(12)( Ṭabarī, Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-.Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk.vol2.p316)(13)( Balādhurī, Aḥmad b. Yaḥyā al-. Ansāb al-ashrāf.vol10.p100) After embracing Islam, Abu Bakr bought and freed a number of tortured Muslim slaves from the Quraysh.(14)( Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, ʿAbd Allāh b. Muslim . Al-Maʿārif.p177) During the Prophet's invitations to the tribes during the Hajj and in the final years of his presence in Mecca, Abu Bakr, due to his familiarity with Arab genealogies, accompanied the Prophet (peace be upon him).(15)( Ṭabarānī, Sulaymān b. Aḥmad. Al-Muʿjam al-kabīr.vol6.p62,,, Maghribī, Qāḍī Nuʿmān al-. Sharḥ al-akhbār'.vol2.p382-386) With the Prophet's migration to Medina, Abu Bakr also accompanied him.(16)( Ṭabarī, Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-.Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk.vol2.p100) After the migration to Medina The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood between Abu Bakr and Salim, the freed slave of Hudhaifah.(17)( Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, ʿAbd Allāh b. Muslim . Al-Maʿārif.p273) Or Harithah ibn Zaid.(18)( Ibn Ḥabīb Baghdādī, Muḥammad b. Ḥabīb. Kitāb al-muḥabbar'.p73) A brotherhood pact was established. Earlier in Mecca, a brotherhood pact had been made between him and Umar(19)( Ibn Hishām, ʿAbd al-Malik. Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya.vol4.p206) Abu Bakr participated in all the expeditions and some crucial events during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).(20)( Ibn Athīr, ʿAlī b. Muḥammad. Usd al-ghāba.vol3.p318) Abu Bakr participated in all the expeditions and some crucial events during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Based on a report, in the Battle of Bani Mustaliq in the fifth year of the Hijri calendar, the flagbearer was from the Muhajirun (Emigrants). (21)( Wāqidī, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-. Al-Maghāzī.vol1.p407)
Emirate of Hajj in the ninth year of Hijrah Abu Bakr, in the ninth year, as the Emir of Hajj, led the first pilgrimage of the Muslims.(22)( Wāqidī, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-. Al-Maghāzī.vol3.p1077,,, Ibn Saʿd, Muḥammad. Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā.vol3.p132) And according to a report, for the proclamation of Surah Bara'at (Al-Tawbah) by the Messenger of God (peace be upon him), he set out from Medina to Mecca with 300 people.(23)( Ibn Hishām, ʿAbd al-Malik. Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya.vol4.p188)
In this journey, he had five sacrificial camels with him and was instructed to perform the standing (wuquf) on the Day of Arafah in Arafat, not in Muzdalifah, contrary to the polytheists. He would leave Arafat after sunset and depart from Muzdalifah after sunrise.(24)( Wāqidī, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-. Al-Maghāzī.vol3.p1077) After becoming muhrim in Dhul-Hulayfah, he met Ali (peace be upon him) at Arj. At first, he thought that he had been relieved of the emirate of Hajj.(24)( Wāqidī, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-. Al-Maghāzī.vol3.p1077). But with the words of Ali (peace be upon him), he realized that Ali (peace be upon him) had been solely tasked with conveying the initial verses of Surah Al-Tawbah (Bara'at).(24)( )( Wāqidī, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-. Al-Maghāzī.vol3.p1077).(25)( ( Ibn Hishām, ʿAbd al-Malik. Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya..vol4.p190) Based on this, Abu Bakr went to Mecca alongside Ali (peace be upon him) and during the pilgrimage, he delivered sermons in Mina on the afternoon of the seventh day, the Day of Arafah, and the afternoon of Eid al-Adha.(26)( Wāqidī, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-. Al-Maghāzī,vol3.1078) According to reports, including a narration from Ibn Abbas, Abu Bakr was relieved of the emirate of Hajj and returned to Medina.(27)( Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal. Musnad al-Imām Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal'.vol1.p3,,, Mufīd, Muḥammad b. Muḥammad al-. Al-Irshād.vol1.p65) Caliphate
After the passing of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and before his burial, a group of Ansar gathered at the Saqifah of Bani Sa'idah and pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr as the successor to the Prophet (peace be upon him).(28)( Ṭabarī, Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-.Tārīkh al-umam wa l-mulūk.vol2.p459,,, Mufīd, Muḥammad b. Muḥammad al-. Al-Jumal wa al-nuṣra li sayyid al-ʿitra fī ḥarb al-Baṣra.p119) Members of Banu Hashim and some companions refrained from pledging allegiance for a long time because they deemed Imam Ali (peace be upon him) more deserving of the caliphate.(29)( Ibn Qutayba al-Dīnawarī, ʿAbd Allāh b. Muslim . Al-Imāma wa l-sīyāsa al-mʿrūf bi-tārīkh al-khulafā,,, Yaʿqūbī, Aḥmad b. Abī Yaʿqūb al-. Tārīkh al-Yaʿqūbī.vol2.p124,,, Jawharī Baṣrī, Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz. Al-Saqīfa wa Fadak.p49)
Supervision of Pilgrims During the Caliphate In the eleventh year of the Hijri calendar, Abu Bakr appointed Umar ibn Khattab as the supervisor of the pilgrims, while he himself performed Umrah in the month of Rajab of the twelfth year of the Hijri calendar. During the pilgrimage season of that same year, he took charge of supervising the pilgrims.(30)( Ibn Saʿd, Muḥammad. Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā..vol3.p139) Some reports suggest that during his caliphate, Abu Bakr did not perform Hajj, and Umar or Attab bin Usaid, the agent of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Mecca, carried out the pilgrimage.(31)( Ibn Ḥabīb Baghdādī, Muḥammad b. Ḥabīb. Kitāb al-muḥabbar'.p12) Or he appointed Abdur Rahman bin Awf to the emirate of Hajj.(32)( Ibn ʿAsākir, ʿAlī b. Ḥasan. Tārīkh-i damishq.vol30.p217)
Death Abu Bakr passed away due to illness on the seventh of Jumada al-Akhirah in the year 13 AH, after two years, three months, and 26 days of caliphate, at the age of 63.(33)( Ibn Saʿd, Muḥammad. Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā.vol3.p150-151) And upon his death, he left behind a date palm grove from the spoils of Banu Nadir, as well as lands in Bahrain, Ghabah, and Khaybar.(34)( Ṣanʿānī, ʿAbd al-Razzāq b. Humām. Al-Muṣannaf.vol9.p101-102)
