Does Surah al-Tawbah, verse 40, mention the virtues of Abu Bakr?
"If you do not help him, then Allah certainly helped him when the faithless expelled him, as one of two [refugees], when the two of them were in the cave, he said to his companion, ‘Do not grieve; Allah is indeed with us.’ Then Allah sent down His composure upon him, and strengthened him with hosts you did not see, and He made the word of the faithless the lowest; and the word of Allah is the highest; and Allah is all-mighty, all-wise.": Quran 9:40
Not at all. On the contrary, this verse is very clear that the person who was with the Prophet in the cave, was not a believer because he was not entitled to receive the Calmness from Allah. Allah sent His Calmness on the Prophet only and never in that companion فأنزل الله سكينته عليه وأيّدَهٌ بجنود لم تروها.
'There is a discussion among the scholars about the name of the person who was with the Prophet in the cave, but whosoever he was, he was not entitled for receiving the peace from Allah, which is received by the believers (Sura 48, verse 4). (It is He who sent down calmness in the hearts of the believers).
'Even Ayesha, daughter of Abu Bakr denied any verse in Quran regarding her and her father but only in the allegation of Al-Ifk. Bukhari, V. 6. Page 42. If the verse 40 in Sura Tauba was mentioning her father, she should known that.
Wassalam.
