Sayyidna Abu Bakr (RA) as a Successor-Ibn Abu Mulaika reported: I heard A’isha as saying and she was asked as to whom Allah’s Messenger ﷺ would have nominated his successor if he had to nominate one at all. She said: Abu Bakr. It was said to her: Then whom after Abu Bakr? She said: Umar. It was said to her. Then whom after ‘Umar? She said: Abu Ubaida b. Jarrab, and then she kept quiet at this.Reference-Book 031, Number 5877: Sahih Muslim 

Most beloved Person of Prophetﷺ-Narrated ‘Amr bin Al-As:The Prophet deputed me to read the Army of Dhat-as-Salasil. I came to him and said, “Who is the most beloved person to you?” He said, ” ‘Aisha.” I asked, “Among the men?” He said, “Her father.” I said, “Who then?” He said, “Then ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab.” He then named other men.

Sayyidna Abu Bakr (RA) and The Fear of Allah-The Prophet ﷺ himself conveyed to him the glad tidings of his being the head of a group of persons in Paradise. The Prophet ﷺ once remarked:“Abu Bakr’s name shall be called out from all the gates of Paradise, and he will be the first of my followers to enter it.“With all these virtues and privileges, Abu Bakr (RadhiyAllaho anho) used to say:“I wish I were a tree that would be cut and done away with.”Sometimes he would say:“I wish I were a blade of grass, whose life ended with the grazing by some beast.”He also said: “I wish I were a hair on the body of a Mo’min.”Once he went to a garden, where he saw a bird singing. He sighed deeply and said:“0, bird! How lucky you are! You eat, you drink and fly under the shade of the trees, and you fear no reckoning of the Day of Judgement. I wish I were just like you.” 

His Humbleness-Hadhrat Rabiah Aslami (RadhiyAllaho anho) narrates:”Once I had some argument with Abu Bakr (RadhiyAllaho anho), during which he uttered a word that I did not like. He realized it immediately and said to me ‘Brother, please say that word back to me in retaliation.’ I refused to do so. He persisted, and even spoke of referring the matter to the Prophet ﷺ, but I did not agree to utter that word. He got up and left me. A few people of my clan remarked, ‘Look! How strange! The person does wrong to you and, on the top of that, he threatens to complain to the Prophet ﷺ‘.I said, ‘Do you know who he is. He is Abu Bakr (RadhiyAllaho anho). To displease him is to displease the Prophet ﷺand to displease the Prophet ﷺ is to displease Allah, and if Allah is displeased then who can save Rabiah from ruin? I went to the Prophet ﷺand narrated the whole story to him. He said, ‘You were quite right in refusing to utter that word. But you could have said this much in reply: ‘0, Abu Bakr, (RadhiyAllaho anho) May Allah forgive you!”

Praise of Sayyidna Umar (RA) in words of Hadrat Ali (Karam Allahu Wajahu)
Ibn Abu Mulaika reported: I heard Ibn ‘Abbas as saying: ‘Umar b. Khatab was placed in the coffin the people gathered around him. They praised him and supplicated for him before the bier was lifted up, and I was one amongst them. Nothing attracted my attention but a person who gripped my shoulder from behind. I saw towards him and found that he was ‘Ali. He invoked Allah’s mercy upon ‘Umar and said: You have left none behind you (whose) deeds (are so enviable) that I love to meet Allah with them. By Allah, I hoped that Allah would keep you and your two associates together. I had often heard Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: I came and there came too Abu Bakr and ‘Umar; I entered and there entered too Abu Bakr and ‘Umar; I went out and there went out too Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and I hope and think that Allah will keep you along with them.Reference-Book 031, Number 5885: Sahih Muslim 

House in Paradise for Umar (RA) was already built-Jabir reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:I entered Paradise and saw in it a house or a palace. I said: For whom is it resersred? They (the Angels) said: It is for ‘Umar b. Khattab. (The Holy Prophet said to ‘Umar b. Khattab): I intended to get into it but I thought of your feelings. Thereupon ‘Umar wept and said: Apostle of Allah, could I feel any jealousy in your case? Reference-Book 031, Number 5896: (Sahih Muslim)
Umar (RA) the one deserving to get inspiration-A’isha reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: There had been among the people before you inspired persons and if there were any such among my Umma Umar b. Khattab would be one of them. Ibn Wahb explained the word Muhaddathun as those who receive hint from the High (Mulhamun).Reference-Book 031, Number 5901: (Sahih Muslim)
Allah aided Islam through Sayyidna Umar Ibn ul Khattab (Radhi Allah)-Sayyidna Ibn Umar (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger ﷺ prayed. “O Allah, strengthen Islam with whichever of these two men is dearer to you. Abu Jahl or Umar ibn al-Khattab (Radhi Allah)”.
