Abu Hurairah narrates: Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) once asked us: Who is fasting today? Abu Bakr said: I am. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who followed a bier today? Abu Bakr said: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who fed a poor man today? Abu Bakr replied: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: who visited a sick person today? Abu Bakr replied: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: Anyone in whom these good deeds are combined will certainly enter Paradise. Source: Sahih Muslim.
Allahu Akbar! Abu Bakr (RA) invested all his energy, wealth and worries for the deen of Islam. Thus, he has reached the highest level of honour after the Prophets. May Allah also give us the ability to invest most of our time, wealth and energy for Islam.
