The question

What is the authenticity of the narration that mentions when the funeral of Abu Bakr was carried before the grave of the Prophet (peace be upon him), a call was heard: "O Messenger of Allah, this is Abu Bakr at the door," whereupon the door opened and a voice from the grave was heard saying: "Admit the beloved to the beloved"?

The answer

This tradition (athar) is disproved (munkar). Its narrator, Abu al-Tahir Musa bin Muhammad bin Atta al-Maqdisi, is a liar, and Abd al-Jalil is unknown. What is authentically preserved is that Asma bint Umays was the one who washed Abu Bakr.
