 In [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] sources, Imam 'Ali (a) has been characterized by the [[Prophet (s)]] as al-Siddiq al-Akbar. The Prophet (s) mentioned [['Ali b. Abi Talib (a)]], the [[believer of Pharaoh's People]] (Mu'min Al Fir'awn) and [[Habib al-Najjar]] as Siddiq, emphasizing that 'Ali (a) is the greatest ("Akbar") among them.
-According to Sunni sources, [[Abu Bakr]] is also characterized as "siddiq" in [[Hadith al-Mi'raj]] or, on other accounts, he was called so since the period of [[Jahiliyya]] (ignorance). However, the hadith has been rejected as unreliable by some Sunni scholars. Ibn Jawzi cited the hadith as a fake one in his book, ''al-Mawdu'at''.

 Shiite scholars reject the title of "siddiq" for Abu Bakr. Moreover, they appeal to hadiths from Sunni sources to show that this title as well as the title, [[Faruq]], are exclusively those of 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a), since during his [[caliphate]], he stated on the [[minbar]] of [[Basra]] that the titles are exclusive his.
