Q- Is it a prophetic hadith? Were the faith of Abu Bakr to be weighed on one side of a scale and the faith of the people around the whole world on the other side, the faith of Abu Bakr would outweigh the faith of all the people around the world. അബൂബക്കറി (റ) ന്റെ വിശ്വാസം ഒരു തുലാസിന്റെ ഒരു വശത്തും ലോകമെമ്പാടുമുള്ള ജനങ്ങളുടെ വിശ്വാസം മറുവശത്തും തൂക്കിനോക്കിയാൽ, അബൂബക്കറി (റ) ന്റെ വിശ്വാസം ലോകമെമ്പാടുമുള്ള എല്ലാവരുടെയും വിശ്വാസത്തെക്കാൾ കൂടുതലായിരിക്കും?
The statement is said by ‘Umar(R) with a good chain of narrators, and it is reported by Al-Bayhaqi. The wording of the statement is: “Were the faith of Abu Bakr to be weighed on one side of a scale and the faith of the people around the whole world on the other side, the faith of Abu Bakr would outweigh the faith of all the people around the world.”
Moreover, this statement of Umar (R) is also reported by At-Tirmithi, Is-Haaq Ibn Raahawayh and Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal.
However, Ibn ‘Ady attributed it to the Prophet but this is a weak narration. Allaah Knows best.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
