....Maulana tariq Jamil sahab pointed something about this verse in a bayan...he said it is "grieve not" not "fear not", which means that it was the thought of Huzoor first that made Syedna Abu Bakr worried, if he was concerned about himself more than it would have been "fear not".......Allah knows best...

Good point... the Aya says "la tahzan" ("do not grieve").

I will just post one reply. I m not in for a discussion.

Allah says in the Quran:
"He being the second of the two, When they were in the cave and when Muhammad said to his companion 'Grieve not, surely God is with us,'
then God came to their help, and protected them with an army which they saw not". {9:40}

Who was the companion of Rasoolullah in the Cave?
AbuBakr .

Would Allah protected a Munafiq(hypocrite) with an army of angels?
I think not.

Period.

Subhanallah, and then there are people who dare to speak against him (radhiallahu 'anhu)!!!

Another Aya to show the importance of the Sahaba:

وَٱلسَّابِقُونَ ٱلأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَٱلأَنْصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحْسَانٍ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا ٱلأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداً ذٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

As for the first and foremost of the Emigrants (Muhājirīn) and the Supporters (Ansār) and those who followed them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will live for ever. That is the supreme achievement.
