The following morning, before Abu Bakr led the prayer he sat upon the pulpit whilst Omar got up and addressed the congregation inviting them to pledge their allegiance to Abu Bakr, of whom he referred to as being the best among them, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah, and the second of the two in the cave.
Subax soo socda, ka hor inta Abu Bakr tujiyay ayuu wuxuu kor taagnaa meel fadhiistay halka Omar kacay oo la hadlay shirkii yeedho oo balan qaaday in ay daacad u tahay Abu Bakr, kuwaas oo uu ku tilmaamay sida iyagoo ugu fiican, Saaxiibkii Rasuulka Eebe, iyo tan labaad oo ah labadagodka.
