762/987- (صحيح الإسناد) عن عمر قال: كنت رديف ابي بكر، فيمر على القوم فيقول: السلام عليكم، فيقولون: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، ويقول: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، فيقولون: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته، فقال ابو بكر: فضلنا الناس اليوم بزيادة كثيرة.
762/987- (Authentic chain of narration) From Umar who said: I was riding behind Abu Bakr, and he would pass by some people and say: Peace be upon you, and they would reply: Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah. And he would say: Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, and they would reply: Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. So Abu Bakr said: Today, the people have surpassed us with much increase.
