Lives of the Sahaba 1 - Abu Bakr As-Siddiq Pt.1 - His family background - Yasir Qadhi

Playlist with all videos in this series: • Lives of the Sahaba - ...
In this new series, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi discusses the lives of the Sahaba, some of the greatest and most blessed human beings to ever live after the death of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him [S].
While not a comprehensive history of the Khulafa Ar-Rashidoon, this series will provide a summarized biography of the men and women considered to be the Sahaba (companions of the Prophet [s]), including the Mothers of the Believers (the wives of the Prophet).
As for the comprehensive and controversial details of this era, Shaykh Dr. Yasir's shares the opinion of Imam Ahmad who once said "That was a time when Allah (SWT) had saved us from participating with our hands, so why don't we save ousrselves from participating with our tongues."
We begin this journey with none other than Abu Bakr As-Siddiq [R], the greatest of all of the Sahaba [R].
The full name of Abu Bakr was Abdullah Ibn Uthman. He was from the sub tribe of Quraysh, known as Banu Taym.
"Abu Bakr" was a nickname (lakab) given by his father. Bakr stands for a young energetic camel and "the one who has and controls such camels, is wealthy, etc." His father's nickname was Abu Quhafa (real name Uthman), who accepted Islam at the conquest of Makkah. Abu Bakr [R] had cried and made the famous statement "I wish Abu Talib was here instead of my own father" showing his love for the Prophet [S].
His mother was Salma Bint Sakr, who accepted Islam much earlier as one of the first female converts.
Abu Bakr [R] was tall and extremely skinny, with a light-wheatish skin tone.
He was the most knowledgeable and beloved of all sahaba in the science of genealogy (I'lmul Ansaab), while never uttering vulgarity towards any tribe.
He was of chaste, dignified and decent character. Even before coming to Islam, he never drank alcohol, engaged in pre-marital intimacy or venerated/prostrated to an idol in his life. He rejected idols very similar to Prophet Ibrahim [A.S.].
He was also known to be extremely gentle and soft hearted.
It was said to him "You are the one who is good to his relatives, takes care of the orphan, feeds the poor and helps the one in distress."
These almost identical phrases were uttered by Khadija [R] to the Prophet Muhammad [S], demonstrating the overlapping characteristics/Akhlaq of Prophet Muhammad [S] and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq [R].
Abu Bakr [R] was engaged in trade as a young man, and amassed a moderate amount of wealth.
Abu Bakr [R] was given several titles in his lifetime.
Al-Atiq, given by his mother, meant "the one who is freed/saved" from death (unlike his elder siblings).
Another narration suggests it was given by the Prophet Muhammad [S] as "always the first" to do good.
In another hadith, Prophet Muhammad [S] also said to Abu Bakr: "Rejoice, as you are the one who Allah has saved from the Fire" [Al Atiq Allah Min AnNaar]
As-Siddq, "the truthful" was his primary title and is mentioned in Bukhari where the Prophet [S] says: "Calm down Uhud, for the only people on you are a Nabi, a Siddiq and 2 shaheeds."
Also from the famous incident of Seerah where Abu Bakr said of the journey of the Prophet [S] on Isra Wa'l Mi'raj "If he has said this, then he has spoken the truth" without even hearing it from the Prophet [S] directly yet. Hence, he was called As-Siddiq, the truthful.
Abu Bakr [R] also enjoys the status and honor of being the first to accept Islam without any hesitiation or argument, also demonstrating why he was titled as the Siddiq.
He was also given the title of Al-Atqa, the one with the most taqwa.
Also mentioned in this lecture are:
-Abu Bakr's family life, including an eventual 4 marriages resulting in 3 sons and 3 daughters.
-Abdullah and Asma bint Abu Bakr were from his first marriage to Qutaylah bint Abd Al-Uzza, who was divorced before Islam
-Second wife Umm Ruman had Aisha [R] and Abdul Rahman
-Third wife Asma bint Umays (ex-wife of Ja'far ibn Abu Talib) had Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr
-Fourth wife Habiba bint Kharija had Umm Khultun
-Abu Bakr's family entire immediate family converted to Islam, unlike any other Sahabi.
Lives of the Sahaba - A lecture series profiling the Companions of the Prophet (S).
Join Dr. Shaykh Yasir Qadhi as he discusses the lives of the Sahaba (companions of the Prophet), some of the greatest and most blessed human beings to ever live after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (S).

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is enough for us." The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray," while the others said as Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, "Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise." - Muhammad al-Bukhari, Sahih al-Bukhari[3]

[@mohammad1801]

If you deny Islamic history books (ESPECIALLY hadith books) then you might as well reject every single book written in history ever because nothing comes even close to the level of authenticity of hadith (excluding Quran ofc).

[@amarabidali5316]

his father would work as someone who keeps flies away from the food, his father would even eat those flies.

[@umarsiddiqui7344]

surprized to see 69 dislikes !! i swear

[@diredn5969]

They understood nothing. They are living in illusion.

[@hnrlog4859]

so Umar made abu bakar the khalif not the prophet or Allah

[@shah8496]

HNR LOG Umar r.a gave his vote on who he thinks will be the best person to lead the Ummah? Your Q is a bit vague. (Was it curious or sarcasm?)

[@shah8496]

HNR LOG May Allah bless you. And the rest of us also. Ameen.

[@stefano6867]

He is a Shia and wants to prove his agenda.

[@mindmusclemusic9129]

HNR LOG if you're trying to say it shouldn't have been that way then tell me what way it should have been and why (provide solid proof for why your opinion is better)

[@kdb5861]

How I wish we muslims were all united and there weren't any sects amongst us muslims 😔....

[@hnrlog4859]

so umar is not muslim as per your statement not mine we call him manafiq you call him kafir he found faults in Prophet Mohammad (AS)

[@luriussky2762]

hadiths arent all accurate , read the holly book , God didnt tell us to follow hadiths written by you human neither to read hadith... you mislead them. that is a sin

[@sabzero89]

Are you saying all hadeeths are false

[@sabzero89]

Please speak carefully my brother

[@sabzero89]

We follow the Quran and hadeeth directly How can that be wrong

[@joeljohn2789]

This man does not speak the Truth - A few days before the Prophet pbuh died - A sahaba named Umar disobeyed the Prophet pbuh - proof - ( hadith of the pen) - - if Umar was so Great he would not of disobeyed the prophet.

[@MeddyNYC]

+Joel John if you were a decent human being you would have concerned your own self with your own actions.

[@EthioKenya]

Do you have any better to talk?
