Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas (Radi Allahu Anhu) narrates, ‘I saw the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) standing with the Leader of the Believers, Sayyiduna Ali, when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr arrived. The Beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) greeted him, embraced him and kissed him on the face. Sayyiduna ‘Ali said, ‘The Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) kissed the face of Abu Bakr’ The Blessed Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) replied, ‘O Abul Hasan The status of Abu Bakr in my court is similar to my status in the court of Allah.’ [Fatawa Ridawiyyah, Vol. 8, Page 610-612]
