Allah Ta‘ala Gave Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) the Title “Siddeeq”

Hakeem bin Sa’d (rahimahullah) reports that he heard Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) take an oath and say, “Allah Ta‘ala revealed the title of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) from the sky as “Siddeeq”.” (Majma‘uz Zawaa’id #14295)

Abu Yahya (rahimahullah) mentions, “I cannot count the number of times that I heard Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) say on the mimbar, ‘Indeed, Allah Ta‘ala gave Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) the title “Siddeeq” on the tongue of his Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” (Isaabah 4/139)
