One day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when he ﷺ raised his head from the position of ruku` (bowing position), he said: �Sami Allahu leman hamidah� � �Allah hears the one who praises Him�. A man from behind added:
رَبَّنـا وَلَكَ الحَمْـدُ حَمْـداً كَثـيراً طَيِّـباً مُـبارَكاً فيه
�Rabbanaa wa la kal hamd, hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubaarakan feeh�
�Our Lord, all praise is due only to You, praise which is abundant, excellent and blessed.�
When we finished [the prayer] the Prophet ﷺ said: �Who spoke?� The man said, �I did�. He ﷺ said,
�Indeed I saw some 30 angels all scuffling to see which one of them could record it.�

Hadrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) was a rich merchant before his Khilafat. After he was selected as Caliph, Hadrat Umar and some other Companions put pressure on him to leave his business and accept some allowance from the Baitul Mal. He took the least possible amount which was hardly sufficient for him and his family. Once his wife wanted to prepare some sweet dish, and somehow saved something after one month. When she brought to him the money to make purchases for the sweet dish, Hadrat Abu Bakr said, "It seems that we have been over-paid, beyond our needs". He then deposited the saving in the Baitul Mal and she was not able to prepare the sweet dish. Not only this he got his allowance cut down for future by the amount saved by his wife.
As-Siddiq al-Akbar left behind a noble example of selfless service. He lived and worked for the sake of Islam to his last breath, but sought no reward.
