EXTENDING UNSTINTED SUPPORT
1999 3-4 March-April 16 EXTENDING UNSTINTED SUPPORT (83) Abu Bakr called together the Companions and told them of his intention to send an expedition to Syria. “God will surely grant the Muslims 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 Abu Bakr to do as he thought fit. ‘We shall neither oppose nor blame you,” they assured him.
