1. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq-e-Akbar was the most distinguished figure of Islam after Rasulallah .
2. He was mild and gentle but stern when necessary. He was the true embodiment of Islam. Being lenient, wise, full of wisdom and a great statesman, without doubt he occupies a unique place in the history of Islam. His name will remain forever in the minds of Muslims.
3. Hazrat Abu Bakr was the most pious Companion of Rasulallah .
4. He never took an unlawful meal, regardless of the extent of his hunger.
5. Once, one of his slaves brought for him some food to eat. He took a morsel out of it but afterwards he learnt that the slave got it as a result of soothsaying. He then remarked, "Ah! you would have surely killed me". He tried to disgorge it, and when he did not succeed he drank water and then vomited the whole thing out.
6. He never spoke any obscene language in any situation. Once he said a harsh word to Hazrat Umar which he realised later and asked him to forgive him. Hazrat Umar delayed in excusing him. He was so much perturbed that he went to Rasulallah who asked Hazrat Umar to excuse him.
7. Hazrat Abu Bakr used to fear Allah most of all. Once he went to a garden where he saw a bird. He sighed deeply and said, "O bird! You are lucky indeed! You eat and drink as you like and fly, but do not have fear of reckoning on the Day of Judgement. I wish that I were just like you". Sometimes he said, "I wish I were a blade of grass whose life ended with the grazing of some beast; or a tree that would be cut and done away with".
8. He was a great worshipper. It is said that Hazrat Abu Bakr used to perform prayer similar to that of Rasulallah .
9. He was the one who spent all of his belongings for the sake of Allah and His Beloved Prophet
