Extending unstinted support
1988 9 September 3 Extending unstinted support: (82) Abu Bakr called together the Companions and told them of his intention to send an expedition to Syria. “God will surely grant the Muslim, His succour,” he told them, “and exalt His word.” In the consultations that followed, some of the Companions opposed certain of Abu Bakr’s ideas. Even so, after brief discussions, all of them – without a single voice of dissent – urged Bakr to do as he thought fit. “We shall neither oppose nor blame you,” they assured him.

What really matters is the man within
1988 9 September 3 What really matters is the man within: (46) A complaint was made to the Prophet about the behaviour of Abdullah ibn Hudhaifah. It was said that he joked and played the fool too much. “Let him be,” said the Prophet, “for, deep down, he has great love for God and His Prophet.”
(Ibn Asakir)
