Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cThere is no person who we have not repaid for the wealth he has given us (for the cause of deen) besides Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), as his kindness upon us is so much that we cannot repay him. Instead, Allah Ta\u2018ala will repay him fully on the Day of Qiyaamah. No person\u2019s wealth benefited me (in the cause of deen) as much as the wealth of Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) had benefited me. If I had to take anyone as my khaleel (bosom friend), then I would have surely taken Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) as my bosom friend. Know well that your companion (i.e. Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)) is the khaleel of Allah Ta\u2018ala (i.e. the close friend of Allah Ta\u2018ala).\u201d\u00a0(Sunan Tirmizi #3661)<\/em><\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The word \u2018khaleel\u2019 refers to a friend whose love and friendship has permeated the recesses of the heart, in such a manner that the heart cannot contain such love for anyone else. Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) had reserved this special love in his heart for Allah Ta\u2018ala alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
