It is narrated from Hazrat Qasim bin Muhammad that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, such calamities befell Hazrat Abu Bakr that if those calamities had descended upon a mountain, they would have shattered that mountain into pieces. Hypocrisy spread in Madinah and (many) Arabs became apostates. By Allah! People did not differ in any command of Islam except that Hazrat Abu Bakr rushed to protect and defend it. And Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also used to say along with this: Whoever saw Umar bin Khattab would know that he was created to remove harm from Islam. And by Allah! Hazrat Umar was extremely alert and unparalleled in all matters. And he prepared suitable people for the affairs.
