"...When these two were alone in the cave, he (Rasulullah s.a.w) said to his companion (Abu Bakr R.A) : "Do not grieve, for God is with us."..."

This is a reference to the time when the Quraysh had lost all patience with Muhammad and his message. It is the same with every tyrannical authority when it loses patience with the message of the truth after it realizes that it cannot stifle or suppress it.

They held their consultations and decided to assassinate Muhammad. God then informed the Prophet of what the Quraysh had plotted and instructed him to leave.

He set out of Makkah alone except for his trusted Companion, Abu Bakr. He had neither troops nor weapons with which to confront his numerous enemies. The odds were heavily against him.

The surah describes vividly the situation of the Prophet and his friend:

“When these two were alone in the cave,” (Verse 40)

with several bands of the Quraysh chasing them in all directions.

Abu Bakr had no fear for his own life, but he feared for the Prophet. The pursuers were so close to them at one point that he said to the Prophet:

“Should any one of them look down where he is standing, he would surely see us.”

But the Prophet had all the calmness of the inner peace bestowed on him by God. He reassured his Companion, saying to him:

“Abū Bakr, what do you think of two men who have God on their side?”

When Muhammad s.a.w is married to Khadijah binte Khuwailid, they moved and lived with Abu Bakar r.a, and from there their relationship together became stronger.

In the book, Hayatussahabah, in the topic on Dakwah Muhammad, it was written that when Abu Bakr r.a became Muslim, he was a catalyst to many other prominent sahabats, such as Uthman bin Affan, Thalhah bin Ubaidillah, zubair bin Awwam, Sa'ad bin abi Waqqas and many others as well.

When Nabi Muhammad set of for Hijrah to Madina, Abu Bakr R.a was one who followed and accompany the prophet s.a.w. And when Nabi Muhammad s.a.w got married to the daughter of Abu Bakr, Aisyah r.a, their relationship got even closer.

Abu Bakr r.a passed away on 23rd august 634H at Madinah, 2 years after being Khalifah.

Two possible reasons of his death, could be from poison or just from natural death. Before he passed away, Abu Bakr R.a has already elected and passed over the title of khalifah to Umar Al khattab r.a.

Wars after wars, there was a loss of Hafizuun (people who hafal the Quran) thus Saidina Umar ibn Al khattab saw the need to ask Saidina Abu Bakar to execute an initiative to collect and compile all of the ayat-ayat Al Quran.

Saidina Uthman affan, during his time as khalifah, completed it by making it into a book which is now known as Mushaf Rasm Uthmani.

How did he is known as As-Siddiq?

In one of the miracles that happen in the life of the prophet, that is Isra dan Miraj. When everyone could not believe the miracle that was experienced by Muhammad s.a.w, saying that it was outrageous, false and full of lies, Abu Bakr was the first to believe in Muhammad s.a.w's story and experience without any hesitation.

”Adakah Muhammad berkata begitu?”

lantas sahut mereka “Benar!”

Saidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq pun lantas berkata… ”Jika Muhammad berkata begitu, maka sungguh benarlah apa yang telah diceritakannya itu,”

“Engkau percaya hai Abu Bakar bahawa Muhammad sampai ke Tanah Syam lebih sebulan perjalanan dan pulang pada malam semalam?”

Maka Saidina Abu Bakar pun menyahut dengan tegas membalas soalan kaum yang tidak mempercayai kerasulan nabi itu. “Benar, Aku percaya! Malah lebih daripada itu aku percaya kepadanya. Aku percaya akan berita dan langit yang diberitakannya itu, baik pada waktu siang mahupun pada waktu malam.”

That was only one of the many occasions.
