Lives of the Sahaba - EP 1 - Abu Bakr As Siddiq (Pt 1) - Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi

Some of the greatest and most blessed human beings to ever live after the death of Prophet Muhammad [S], were indeed the Sahabas. In this series, Shaykh Dr Yasir discusses their lives.

While it is 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 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 ourselves 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 (Actual 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].
