3661. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no favor due upon us from anyone, except that we have repaid him, with the exception of Abū Bakr. Verily upon us, there is a favor due to him, which Allāh will repay him on the Day of
Judgment. No one's wealth has benefited me as Abū Bakr's wealth has benefited me. And if I were to take a Khalil, then I would have taken Abū Bakr as a Khalil, and indeed your companion is Allāh's Khalil." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.

Commentary
Abū Bakr sacrificed his family, his wealth, and his life for the Prophet ﷺ that is why the Prophet ﷺ said that Allāh ﷻ will repay Abū Bakr on the Day of Judgment. Only such Companions can continue the Mission, and he deserved it rightly. The second place was given to 'Umar as mentioned in the next narration.
