Abu Bakr Radi-Allahu anhu

Abu Bakr, Radi-Allahu anhu, as-Siddiq was the first of the Muslims and the first khalifah of the Muslims.
He was the man who the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, loved most. The Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi
wa sallam, once said "..everyone hesitated before accepting Islam except Abu Bakr, Radi-Allahu anhu".

Abu Bakr, Radi-Allahu anhu's love for the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, knew no bounds.
He accompanied the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, on the Hijrah to Madinah. They stopped at a cave called "Thawr",

According to Umar, Radi-Allahu anhu, the day when the Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, died and the
Arabs turned back from Islam and refused to pay zakat, he said, "If they were to refuse me the nose-rope of
a camel, I would fight them over it".
