Question

I would appreciate if you could provide the narration and reference where Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) advised Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to ask for ‘afiyah (protection and safety):

“O Siddiq, keep asking for well-being and forgiveness”

Answer

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) once stood up on the mimbar (pulpit) and cried. He then said that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) also stood on the mimbar the first year after hijrah, cried and said:

Ask Allah for forgiveness and protection (‘afiyah), for verily after Iman, none is given anything better than ‘afiyah.

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3558)

Imam Tirmidhi has declared the above Hadith as sound (hasan).

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,

التخريج من المصادر العربية

سنن الترمذي:
(٣٥٥٨) حدثنا محمد بن بشار، قال: حدثنا أبو عامر العقدي، قال: حدثنا زهير، وهو ابن محمد، عن عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل: أن معاذ بن رفاعة أخبره عن أبيه، قال: قام أبو بكر الصديق على المنبر، ثم بكى، فقال: قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عام الأول على المنبر، ثم بكى، فقال: «اسألوا الله العفو والعافية، فإن أحدا لم يعط بعد اليقين خيرا من العافية».
وهذا حديث حسن غريب من هذا الوجه عن أبي بكر.
