Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq

al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr by al-Bukhārī (d. 256)

Imām al-Bukhārī رحمه الله includes an entry for Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq رضي الله عنه under the letter ʿayn (ع). He says:

“From them is ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Quḥāfah Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq may Allāh be pleased with him.

And he is ʿAtīq b. ʿUthmān b. ʿĀmir b. ʿAmr b. Kaʿb b. Saʿd b. Tamīm b. Murrah b. Kaʿb b. Luʾayy b. Ghālib, al-Qurashī then al-Tamīmī.

Ibn Abī Uways said: from ʿAbd Allāh b. Wahb: from Yūnus: from Ibn Shihāb, “He passed away after the Prophet ﷺ after two years and some months.”

Abū Nuʿaym said: Muḥammad b. Sharīk al-Makkī narrated to us, he said: Ibn Abī Mulaykah narrated to me: from ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Zubayr, may Allāh be pleased with them both, who said, “I was named with the name of my grandfather Abū Bakr, and I was given a kunyah with his kunyah.””

See al-Muʿallimī’s edition (5: 1, no. 1).
