It is narrated from Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about kalalah, he said: I will express my opinion about it; if it is correct, then it is from Allah (the guidance), and if it is wrong, then it is from myself and from Satan. In my view, (kalalah is the deceased) who has neither left a father nor a son. Then, when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph, he said: I feel shy before Allah to reject what Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) has said.
