And this was from what Allah -azwj had Affirmed upon them both (Abu Bakr and Umar) during that day, O Zayd. The words of Rasool-Allah -saww to them both (Abu Bakr and Umar) were: \u2018Arise you both and greet upon him -asws as Amir Al-Momineen -asws \u2019. So they said, \u2018Is it from Allah -azwj or from His -azwj Rasool -saww , O Rasool-Allah -saww ?\u2019 So Rasool-Allah -saww said to them: \u2018(It is) from Allah -azwj and His -azwj Rasool -saww \u2019.
