Hadith text
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon and said, "Allah gave a choice to one of (His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Hereafter. He chose the latter." Abu Bakr wept. I said to myself, "Why is this Sheikh weeping, if Allah gave choice to one (of His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Here after and he chose the latter?" And that slave was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) himself. Abu Bakr knew more than us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Bakr! Don't weep. The Prophet (ﷺ) added: Abu- Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I were to take a Khalil from mankind I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr but the Islamic brotherhood and friendship is sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except that of Abu Bakr
Abu Saeed Khudri (رضی اللہ عنہ) se riwayat hai ke Nabi ne khutba diya aur farmaya: "Allah ne apne ek bande ko duniya aur uske paas jo Aakhirat mein hai, in dono mein se ek chunne ka ikhtiyar diya. Usne doosra chuna." Abu Bakr rone lage. Maine socha: "Yeh Sheikh kyun ro rahe hain, agar Allah ne apne ek bande ko ikhtiyar diya aur usne Aakhirat chuni?" Woh banda khud Allah ke Rasool the. Abu Bakr humse zyada jaante the. Nabi ne farmaya: "Aye Abu Bakr! Mat ro." Aap ne joda: "Abu Bakr ne apne maal aur sohbat se mujhpar bahut ehsaan kiya hai. Agar main insaano mein se koi khaleel (gehra dost) banata to Abu Bakr ko banata, magar Islami bhaichaara aur dosti kaafi hai. Masjid ke sab darwaze band kar do siwaye Abu Bakr ke darwaze ke."
