Musnad Ahmad Hadith 25841

Yazid bin Babnoos says that once I, along with my companion, presented myself before Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and sought permission from her. She arranged a cushion for us and drew a curtain towards herself. Then my companion asked, "O Mother of the Believers! What do you say about 'Iraak'?" She replied, "What is Iraak?" I struck my companion on the shoulder. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) stopped me and said, "You have hurt your brother." Then she asked, "What is meant by Iraak? Menstruation? Then say directly the word that Allah has used, that is, menstruation. Sometimes I would be menstruating, but even then the Prophet (ﷺ) would embrace me and kiss my head, and there would be a curtain between me and the Prophet (ﷺ)." Then she said, "It was the blessed habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) that whenever he passed by the door of my house, he would say something from which Allah would benefit me. One day, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by but said nothing. When this happened two or three times, I told my maid to place a cushion for me at the door, and I tied a band around my head and sat there. When the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by me, he said, 'Aisha! What is the matter?' I replied, 'My head is hurting.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'My head is also hurting.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) left. A little while later, people brought the Prophet (ﷺ) wrapped in a sheet. The Prophet (ﷺ) stayed with me and sent a message to the other wives that he was ill and did not have the strength to visit each of them in turn, so if they permitted, he would stay with Aisha. They all gave permission, and I began to nurse the Prophet (ﷺ), although I had never nursed anyone before." "One day, the Prophet (ﷺ) had placed his blessed head on my shoulder when suddenly his blessed head drooped towards my head. I thought perhaps he wanted to kiss my head, but at that moment, a drop of saliva came from the mouth of the Prophet (ﷺ) and fell on my chest. My hair stood on end, and I thought perhaps the Prophet (ﷺ) had fainted, so I covered him with a sheet. Meanwhile, Umar and Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with them) arrived. They sought permission, I granted it, and drew the curtain towards myself. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'Oh, unconsciousness! How severe is the unconsciousness upon the Prophet (ﷺ)!' After a short while, they stood up, and when they reached near the door, Mughirah bin Shu’bah said, 'O Umar! The Prophet (ﷺ) has passed away.' Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'You are wrong; rather, you are a troublemaker. The Prophet (ﷺ) cannot pass away until Allah eliminates the hypocrites.'" "A little while later, Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived. I lifted the veil. He looked at the Prophet (ﷺ), recited 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un,' and said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) has passed away.' Then he came from the side of the head, bent over the blessed face, kissed the forehead, and said, 'Oh, my Prophet (ﷺ)!' He did this three times, the second time saying, 'Oh, my friend,' and the third time, 'Oh, my beloved.' Then he went towards the mosque. At that time, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was addressing and speaking to the people, saying that the Prophet (ﷺ) would not pass away until Allah eliminated the hypocrites. Then Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) began to speak, and after praising Allah, he said, 'Allah says: "You (O Muhammad) will die, and they too will die..." and that "Muhammad is but a Messenger; Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels?" So whoever worshipped Allah should know that Allah is alive, and whoever worshipped Muhammad (ﷺ) should know that he has passed away.' Upon hearing these verses, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'Are these verses in the Book of Allah? My mind had not even gone to the fact that this verse is in the Book of Allah.' Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'O people! This is Abu Bakr, and he is the elder of the Muslims, so pledge allegiance to him.' Thus, the people pledged allegiance to him."
