The two sheikhs, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, who exhausted the caliphs who came after them; Since no one after the era of prophethood reached their level of justice and wisdom: "Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq" and "Omar bin Al-Khattab." Taha Hussein tells us about them in this book. The author found that the books of his predecessors followed the doctrine of exaggeration at times and negligence in the history of these two figures and the events of their time. Some exaggerated their veneration to the point of sanctification, and transmitted unreliable narratives about their time and relegated them to the status of established facts, while others belittled them to the point of denying their achievements or belittling their importance. As for Taha Hussein, he presents with great objectivity and fairness aspects of the personalities of Al-Siddiq and Al-Farouq, extrapolating from what has been authentically reported about them, the approach that each of them took in governance and politics, raising the banner of Islam, unifying the word of Muslims, and repelling the arrows of aggressors and those seeking sedition.
