Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq — Page 25
HADRAT ABU BAKR 25 “We cannot say anything to Ab u Bakr because you are protecting him, but we are scared that our women and children will become Muslims if he continues to recite the Qur’ a n in this manner. Therefore, you must make him stop. If you do not make him stop then we will do so ourselves. ” Ibni Daghinah went to Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra and told him what the Quraish demanded. Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra responded by saying, “I thank you for your offer of protection, but I will not stop worshipping for any reason. However, if you are fearful, then you may withdraw your protection. The protection of my Lord is enough for me. ” 8 After Ibni Daghinah took away his protection, the Quraish inflicted many hardships upon Hadrat Ab u Bakr ra but he stayed rock-solid in his faith and belief.
