Some people from Quraish went to Abu Bakr (r.a.) and said, "Have you heard what your companion is saying, He is claiming that he went to Bayt Al-Maqdis and came back to Makkah in one night!'' Abu Bakr (ra) said, "Did he say that?'' They said, "Yes.'' Abu Bakr said, "Then I bear witness that if he said that, he is speaking the truth.'' They said, "You believe that he went to Ash-Sham [Greater Syria] in one night and came back to Makkah before morning?'' He said, "Yes, I believe him with regard to something even more than that. I believe him with regard to the revelation that comes to him from heaven.'' Abu Salamah said, from then on Abu Bakr was known as As-Siddiq (the true believer).
