Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq [Radiyal Laahu ‘Anhu]
“The most superior and the best of all men after Prophets – blessings and peace upon them – is Hazrat Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq. And then, Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab al-Farooq. And then Hazrat Usmaan. And then Hazrat Alee. May Allaah be well pleased with them all; they were worshippers and steadfast on Truth and sided with Truth. We love all of them.” [Fiqh Al-Akbar]
