So I and Abu Bakr went until we entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

وَأَبُو and Abu

This is 'and' plus 'Abu', coordinating a second person into the subject — 'and Abu [Bakr]'. The long 'u' on 'Abu' shows it shares the subject's nominative. It heads the name with the genitive to come.
