ENGLISH- THE SEALED NECTAR – MEMORIES OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)-AUTHOR- ISSAM DIAB
In this context, it is relevant to introduce some interesting incidents that featured their
wearying journey:
1. One day they could find no shelter from the scorching heat so Abu Bakr [R] cast
a glance and found a little shade beside a rock. He cleaned the ground, spread
his mantle for the Prophet [pbuh] to lie on and himself went off in search of food.
He came across a shepherd, a bedouin boy, who was also seeking a shelter. Abu
Bakr asked him for some milk and took it to the Prophet [pbuh], cooled it with
some water and waited till the Prophet [pbuh] woke up and quenched his
thirst.[Bukhari 1/510]
2. Whoever asked Abu Bakr [R] about the identity of his honourable companion, he
would reply that he was a man who guided him on his way. The questioner would
think that Muhammad [pbuh] was a guide, in terms of roads, whereas Abu Bakr
used to mean guide to the way of righteousness.[Bukhari 1/556]
