What is his secret? Abu Bakr did not endure the poverty of Abu Dharr or Bilal, yet he surpassed them. He did not narrate thousands of ahadith like Abu Hurayrah or Anas, yet he surpassed them. He was not tortured like Khabab or Sumayyah, yet he surpassed them. He was not severely injured in battle like Talhah or Khalid, yet he surpassed them. He was not martyred in battle like Hamzah or Musab, yet he surpassed them. What then was the secret behind Abu Bakrs superiority? Bakr ibn Abdillah al-Muzani tells us: Abu Bakr did not surpass them through numerous fasts and prayers but with something that was deeply rooted in his heart. Brothers and sisters, many times we focus on the actions of the limbs and we forget the actions of the heart. In this Dunya, the distance we travel is measured by the strides of our legs, but the distance we travel in our journey toward the Akhirah is measured by the strides of our hearts. O Allah, fill our hearts with faith, love, and caring.
