Islamic Stories, - He has gone ahead of us

Abu Hurairah narrates: Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him)
once asked us: Who is fasting today? Abu Bakr said: I am. Rasulullah
(peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who followed a bier today?
Abu Bakr said: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be upon him)
asked: Who fed a poor man today? Abu Bakr replied: I did. Rasulullah
(peace and blessings be upon him) asked: who visited a sick person
today? Abu Bakr replied: I did. Rasulullah (peace and blessings be
upon him) then said: Anyone in whom these good deeds are combined will
certainly enter Paradise. Source: Sahih Muslim.
Allahu Akbar! Abu Bakr (RA) invested all his energy, wealth and
worries for the deen of Islam. Thus, he has reached the highest level
of honour after the Prophets. May Allah also give us the ability to
invest most of our time, wealth and energy for Islam.
