Was Abu Bakr Better Or Omar?

Was Abu Bakr better or Omar? ابو بكر افضل ام عمر

Ibn Al-Jawzi narrates another funny incident:

فقال واحد منهم لآخر ابو بكر افضل ام عمر
قال لا بل عمر
قال وكيف علمت
قال لأنه لما مات ابو بكر جاء عمر الى جنازته ولما مات عمر لم يجيء ابو بكر لجنازته

A man asked another: “Who was better, Abu Bakr or Omar?”

He replied: “Omar was better.”

The man asked: “What makes you say that?”

He replied:

“Because when Abu Bakr died, Omar attended his funeral.
But when Omar died, Abu Bakr did not attend his funeral.”
