Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: “While the head of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in my lap on a moonlit night 1, I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, can anyone have good deeds as numerous as the stars in the sky?’ He said: ‘Yes, Umar.’ I said: ‘What about Abu Bakr’s good deeds?’ He said: ‘All of Umar’s good deeds are like one good deed of Abu Bakr.’”
