ers. For all this he was known as the
most kind and merciful of people.
After the death of the Prophet [s],
when
Sayyiduna
Abu Bakr [r]
became the
Khalif
and ruler of all
Muslims, some of these people
feared that they had lost the gentle
care and the services of Abu Bakr
[r]. They thought that he would be
too preoccupied with the affairs of
ruling over the vast lands of Islam
and would not have time for them.
That very day
Sayyiduna
Abu Bakr
[r] heard an old widow say, “
Today,
our sheep will not be milked.
”
“
By my life,
” said Abu Bakr [r], “
I will
continue to milk it for you.
”
As soon as he could, he went to the
widow’s house and knocked at the
door. A little girl opened the door
and as soon as she saw him, she
shouted excitedly, “
The milker of the
sheep is here, mother!
”
