The Messenger Muhammad and Abu Bakr were from Quraish and Mecca, and they knew each other before the prophethood. Biographers mentioned that Abu Bakr was the companion of the Messenger and knew of his truthfulness and trustworthiness. Therefore, when the Prophet invited him to Islam, Abu Bakr embraced Islam without hesitation, unlike others who experienced a stumble and hesitation. This was due to what Abu Bakr observed of the signs of the Prophet's prophethood and what he heard of its effects even before his call.
