Abu Bakr: Difference between revisions

In the short period of his caliphate most of which was spent in war, Abu Bakr did not establish any program or important foundation. Along with reinforcing his caliphate, he tried to show that he was following the [[Qur'an]] and the tradition of the [[Prophet (s)]] in ruling. Some of his actions such as sending the army of [[Usama b. Zayd|Usama]] despite the objection of other companions supports this idea. However, whenever ruling required, he would solve issues with his personal judgment.

According to [[Muhammad b. Sa'd|Ibn Sa'd]] and [[Ibn al-Athir al-Jazari|Ibn al-Athir]], before transferring his treasury to [[Medina]], it was in Sanh and he had appointed guards on it, because whatever reached there, he shared among Muslims and did not remain anything. After transferring treasury to Medina, he put it in his house. Ibn Sa'd says that after the death of Abu Bakr, [['Umar]] opened the treasury in the presence of the elders and there he found nothing but a Dinar left from a money bag.
