Sayyiduna Abu Bakr RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu at the time of his demise expressed the desire to attain the closeness of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ, Ameer ul mu'mineen Sayyiduna Ali RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu has said, i was present with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu in the last moments of his blessed life. He RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu said to me, 'O Ali! When i have passed away, give me Ghusl (the ritual bath) with the blessed bowl from which the Beloved Prophet ﷺ was given Ghusl, then after wrapping the shroud around me take my body to the enlightened tomb of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and then, seek permission from the court of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ by saying 'Ya RasulAllah ﷺ. Salaam be upon you, Abu Bakr is present and seeks permission.' If the door of the blessed Mausoleum opens, bury me in there and if permission is not granted, then bury me in the graveyard of the Muslims (Jannat-ul-Baqi').'
Sayyiduna Ali RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu said: "Having given Ghusl and enshrouding Sayyiduna Abu Bakr RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu, the body was placed at the door of the Beloved's Mausoleum, and was humbly said: Ya RasulAllah ﷺ, Abu Bakr seeks your permission. Sayyiduna Ali RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu said: As soon as i said my words, i saw that the door of the Mausoleum of the Beloved Rasool (ﷺ) opened and a voice came from inside
'Enter the Beloved to the Beloved, for surely the Beloved eagerly awaits the Beloved.' Then he RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu was buried at the side of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ. (Al-Khasais, vol. 2, page, 492)
