Abu Bakr in Asbâb al Nuzûl

Abstract

Abu Bakr is one of the most respected figures in the history of Islam. It is extremely important to determine the place of the elements that give it such a value in the process of the revelation of the Qur'an. Huseyin Celik has a article titled “Verses About Abu Bakr”. However, a large part of this work is interpretation-oriented. In our research, mainly the reasons for revelation of the verses about Abu Bakr are evaluated. From this point of view, his being a model personality is revealed within the context of the Qur'an. While the subject was being addressed, the integrity of the subject was taken into consideration, not the order of the revelation. Hereby, Vahidi's work titled Esbâb-ı nüzul, which is the oldest source in its field, was reviewed and all narrations where the name of Abu Bakr is mentioned have been evaluated in the frame of authentic hadith sources and interpretations. As a result, it has been seen that the verses revealing the exemplary character of Abu Bakr were revelations. This is an indication that his prestige is based on the Qur'an in a way.
