He was instrumental in the conversion of many people to the Islamic faith and early in 623, Abu Bakr's daughter Aisha was married to Muhammad, strengthening the ties between the two men.

Abu Bakr's Caliphate lasted for a little over two years ( or 27 months ), ending with his death after an illness.

Abu Bakr's father's name was Uthman Abu Quhafa ( nicknamed Abu Quhafa ) and his mother was Salma Umm-ul-Khair ( nicknamed Umm-ul-Khair ).

Abu Bakr's acceptance proved to be a milestone in Muhammad's mission.

The second and third caliphs, Umar ibn Al-Khattab and Uthman ibn Affan, continued Abu Bakr's codification of the zakat.

It was this experience that led the second Caliph Umar to say that all the good Umar did cannot stand as an equivalent to Abu Bakr's sole virtue of companionship with Muhammad at the Thawr cave.

During the Ridda wars ( Wars of Apostasy ), Uthman remained at Medina, acting as Abu Bakr's adviser.

When Abu Bakr's selection to the caliphate was presented as a fait accompli, Ali withheld his oaths of allegiance until after the death of Fatimah.

Fatima was buried in the night by Ali without any of Abu Bakr's supporters present and the location of her grave is still disputed.

Shi ' ites maintain that any narrations stating Ali agreed to Abu Bakr's selection are fabricated.

Umar immediately grabbed Abu Bakr's hand and gave him bay ' ah ( declared his allegiance ; an Arabian custom ) causing the rest of the men at the gathering to also give their bay ' ah.

Khalid bin Waleed's role as having led this bloodshed on Abu Bakr's behalf is widely condemned by Shias and a disagreement between Umar and Abu Bakr on Khalid's killings has also been recorded in both Sunni and Shi ' ite sources.
