:Ok, i see you point there, you are correct regarding the interruption. 

 :Maybe it can be put in a separate article, and link to it? 

  
 :"Abu Bakr, once a wealthy man..."  sounds fine, how about this: 

 :"Abu Bakr, once a wealthy man, impoverished himself freeing eight Muslim slaves to save them from persecution by non-Muslim masters [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]" ? 

 :Thanks for the personal remark, allways nice when people are factual instead of attaking persons. 

 :And by the way, delet the prayer episode unless you want a shia rebutal to it. And i know that you have already said that you dont whant controveries in biographies.
