Hadith 76

(The book) ‘Muntakhab Al Basaair’ – Sa’ad, from Musa Bin Umar, from Usman Bin Isa, from Khalid Bin Yahya who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Did Rasool-Allah-saww name Abu Bakr as ‘Siddique’ (the truthful)? ’
He-asws said: ‘Yes. It was when Abu Bakr was with him-saww in the cave. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww see the ship of the clan of Abdul Muttalib being restless in the sea, lost’. Abu Bakr said to him-saww, ‘You-saww can see it? ’ He-saww said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Are you-saww able upon showing it? ’ He-saww said: ‘Come near me-saww! ’
He went near him-saww. He-saww wiped his-saww hand upon his eyes, then said to him: ‘Look! ’ Abu Bakr looked, and he saw the ship being restless in the sea. Then he looked at the castles of the people of Al-Medina. He said within himself, ‘I-asws ratify that you-saww are a sorcerer! ’ Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘You are truthful! ’
I said, ‘Why was Umar named as ‘Al-Farouq’ (the distinguisher)? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, do you see that he had distinguished between the truth and the falsehood and took the people with the falsehood? ’
I said, ‘Why was Salim (Mawla) named as ‘Al-Ameen’ (the trustworthy)? ’ He-asws said: ‘When they wrote the letters and placed them upon the hand of Salim, so he became ‘Al-Ameen’’. I said, ‘He-saww had said: ‘Fear the call of Sa’ad! ’’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘And how is that so? ’ He-asws said: ‘Sa’ad will be returning and fighting against Ali-asws’’. [81]
