Greeting to Abu Bakr (r.a.)

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ. اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَأَنِيسَهُ فِي الْغَارِ، وَرَفِيقَهُ فِي الْأَسْفَارِ، وَأَمِينَهُ عَلَى الْأَسْرَارِ. جَزَاكَ اللّٰهُ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ، فَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ. اَللّٰهُمَّ ارْضَ عَنْهُ، وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ مَقَامَهُ، وَأَجْزِلْ ثَوَابَهُ

Peace be upon you, O Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Peace be upon you, O successor (caliph) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Peace be upon you, O companion of the Messenger of Allah and his intimate friend in the cave, his comrade on journeys and his trustee over secrets. May Allah reward you on our behalf with the best reward; so peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. O Allah, be pleased with him, raise his rank, honour his station and make his reward abundant.
