فقام أبو بكر في الناس خطيباً بعد أن حمد الله وأثنى عليه: أما بعد:
" فإن من كان يعبد محمداً فإن محمداً قد مات، ومن كان يعبد الله فإن الله حي لا يموت."

A. If you are used to worship Muhammad, Muhammad is dead, and those who worship God, God is alive and does not die." B. If you were worshiping Muhammad, Muhammad has passed away, and those who were worshiping God, God is still alive and does not die."
C. Hear me out! If you were used to worship Muhammad, Muhammad is dead, and those who worship God, God is alive and does not die."
