Question:
Asalamu alaikum
Please let me know the grading and takhrij of the following hadith..?
Prophet (pbuh) says to Syeduna Abu Bakr as-Siddique: Ya Abu Bakr, no one knows my reality (haqiqa) except my Lord.
Thank you…
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
This is not a hadith but more akin to a poetic paraphrase, verbalizing the Prophetic rank and his intimacy with Abu Bakr — as Rumi often did for example — and Allah knows best.
