Musnad Ahmad Hadith 24061

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the illness of the Prophet (ﷺ) began in the house of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (ﷺ) sought permission from his pure wives to spend the days of his illness in my house, and all of them granted permission. Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) left from there supported by Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man (according to the narrator, he was Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) did not consider it necessary to mention his name). At that time, the blessed feet of the Prophet (ﷺ) were dragging on the ground as he walked. The Prophet (ﷺ) had already told Abdullah bin Zam’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the house of Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) to tell the people to perform the prayer. Abdullah was returning when he met Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the way. He told Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Umar! Lead the people in prayer." So he began to lead the prayer. When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard the voice of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he immediately recognized it because his voice was loud. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is this not Umar's voice?" The people replied, "Yes, it is." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah and the believers do not accept this. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted man; he will not be able to control his tears, because whenever Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the Holy Qur'an, he would begin to weep." And I only said this so that people would not start saying about Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was the first man to stand in the place of the Prophet (ﷺ) and thus become sinful. But the Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When I repeated my request, the Prophet (ﷺ) gave the same command and said, "You are like the women who were infatuated with Yusuf (peace be upon him) (who concealed something in their hearts and expressed something else with their tongues)."
