Encyclopedia4U - Abu Bakr - Encyclopedia Article (630 words) |
 | Abu-Bakr had scarcely assumed his new position (632), under the title Califet-Resul-Allah ("successor of the prophet of God"), when he was called to suppress the revolt of the tribes Hejaz and Nejd, of which the former rejected Islam and the latter refused to pay tribute. |
| Abu-Bakr's zeal for the spread of the new faith was as conspicuous as that of its founder had been. |
| After the hard-won victory over Mosailima, Omar, fearing that the sayings of the prophet would be entirely forgotten when those who had listened to them had all been removed by death, induced Abu-Bakr to see to their preservation in a written form. |
