Transliteration:( Wa sa yujannnabuhal atqaa )
15. In these verses many praises and good qualities of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique are being described.
1. That he has been kept far away from Hell.
2. Or, that he never committed or will never commit a sin in the world.
3. In the grave and on the field of reckoning there will be such a distance of Hell that let alone its heat, not even its sound will reach him. Says Allah Almighty: "They will not hear the faintest sound of it"(S21:V102).
4. Or, that his children, in fact all those who believe and accept him until the Day of Judgement would be saved from Hell.
16. This is another praiseworthy quality of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique. From this emerge a few issues:
1. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique is the noblest and pious person in the entire Ummah of the Holy Prophet "most pious" is used in the superlative.
2. That Hazrat Abu Bakr is the most noblest after the Prophets and his being personification of piety and most superior to the pious are both proven from the Holy Quran. Thus, the excellence of Abu Bakr Siddique is absolutely categorical. Its rejecter is a heretic. For this reason Allah Almighty had called him "Possessor of highest excellence." And swear not those among you who are men of excellence and of means"(S24:V22).
In addition, the Holy had appointed him as his deputy of Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم to lead Salaah during his illness.
3. Any person or historians who describe defects of Hazrat Abu Bakr are false and baseless, as this would be contradicting the Holy Quran
