Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ: " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ، قُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِذَا قَامَ مَقَامَكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ، قَالَ: " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ "، فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ قُولِي إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَا يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ فَلَوْ، ، أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: " صَوَاحِبَ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ "، فَالْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيَّ حَفْصَةُ، فَقَالَتْ: " لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُصِيبَ (١) مِنْكِ خَيْرًا " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said during his final illness, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said, "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) recites the Holy Qur'an, he starts weeping." But the Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said to Hafsa, "You tell the Prophet (ﷺ) that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) will not be able to make the people hear due to his weeping, so you should order Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to do it." The Prophet (ﷺ) again gave the same order 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)." Hearing this, Hafsa turned to me and said, "I have gained no good from you."
