اخبرنا ابو بكر بن إسحاق، اخبرنا موسى بن الحسن بن عباد، حدثنا عفان بن مسلم، حدثنا السري بن يحيى، حدثنا محمد بن سيرين، قال: ذكر رجال على عهد عمر، فكانهم فضلوا عمر على ابي بكر، قال: فبلغ ذلك عمر، فقال: والله ليلة من ابي بكر خير من آل عمر، وليوم من ابي بكر خير من آل عمر، لقد خرج رسول الله ﷺ لينطلق إلى الغار ومعه ابو بكر، فجعل يمشي ساعة بين يديه، وساعة خلفه، حتى فطن له رسول الله ﷺ، فقال:"يا ابا بكر، ما لك تمشي ساعة بين يدي، وساعة خلفي؟" فقال: يا رسول الله، اذكر الطلب فامشي خلفك، ثم اذكر الرصد، فامشي بين يديك، فقال:"يا ابا بكر، لو كان شيء، احببت ان يكون بك دوني؟" قال: نعم والذي بعثك بالحق، ما كانت لتكون من ملمة إلا ان تكون بي دونك (1)، فلما انتهيا إلى الغار قال ابو بكر: مكانك يا رسول الله، حتى استبرئ لك الغار، فدخل واستبراه، حتى إذا كان في اعلاه ذكر انه لم يستبرئ الجحرة، فقال: مكانك يا رسول الله، حتى استبرئ الجحرة، فدخل واستبرا، ثم قال: انزل يا رسول الله، فنزل، فقال عمر: والذي نفسي بيده لتلك الليلة خير من آل عمر (2).

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) that during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) some people were mentioned who seemed to give Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) superiority over Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). When this reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "By Allah! One night of Abu Bakr('s life) is better than the family of Umar, and one day of Abu Bakr is better than the family of Umar." When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out to go to the cave of Thawr, and Abu Bakr was with him (peace and blessings be upon him), he would sometimes walk in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him) and sometimes behind, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed it and asked: "O Abu Bakr! What is the matter with you that you sometimes walk in front of me and sometimes behind me?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! When I think of being pursued from behind, I walk behind you, and when I fear an ambush, I walk in front of you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Bakr! If some calamity were to happen, would you prefer that it befall you rather than me?" He said: "Yes, by the One who sent you with the truth! There is no misfortune that I would not be ready to take upon myself instead of you." When the two of them reached the cave, Abu Bakr said: "O Messenger of Allah! Stay right here so that I may clean out the cave for you and make it safe from dangers." So he went inside and cleaned it, until, when he reached the upper part of the cave, he remembered that he had not checked the holes, so he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Stay where you are until I clean out the holes." Then he went in and cleaned them, and then said: "O Messenger of Allah! Now come in." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul! That one night is better than the family of Umar." This hadith has a sahih chain on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), were it not for the irsal (a missing link) in it, but they did not record it.
