The Prophet's Choice of Abu Bakr

The Prophet Salaahu Alayhi Wasallam prayed in the Jamaah with the Sahaba. He did not want to name that the person after me, but he gave every other indication possible. If our processum had chosen Abu Bakr, then what would he have done? He would have narrowed it down. And he didn't want to do that. So what is the alternative? To indicate as much as possible without actually being human. That explicit.
