Speech
When Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq 
was made caliph, he delivered a khutba before the people. In it, after
describing Allah's praise and laudation, he said: -"0 People! I have been
appointed the amir of your caravan though I am not better than you are.
If I work properly, help me and if I do not work well, correct me. Truthfulness
is a deposit and falsehood is defalcation. The weak amongst you is strong
in my sight. I will surely try to remove his pain and suffering. And the
strong amongst you is weak to me I will - Allah willing - realise the right
from him fully....When obscene things spread
among any nation, calamities generally continued to descend upon them.
As long as I obey Allah and His messenger, you should obey me, and if I
do not obey Allah and His messenger, then obedience to me is not incumbent
upon you. (Now prepare for prayer)."
