It is unanimously agreed upon by Ahl Sunnat Wal Jamā'a that Abū Bakr, ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭab, ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān, ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib were dear to the Prophet ﷺ respectively. Being a father, he loved Fāṭimah more than he loved anyone else. The Prophet ﷺ loved Abū ‘Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrāh. Abū ‘Ubaidah conquered many land in the period of first two Caliphs.
