حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: لَمَّا ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، جَاءَ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ: " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ "، قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ، وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى يَقُومُ (١) مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ، فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَ: " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ "، قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ: قُولِي لَهُ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ حَفْصَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ، وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى يَقُومُ (١) مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ، فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّكُنَّ لَأَنْتُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ، مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ "، قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً، فَقَالَتْ: " فَقَامَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ، وَرِجْلَاهُ تَخُطَّانِ فِي الْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِسَّهُ، ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنْ قُمْ، (٢) كَمَا أَنْتَ "، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَنْ يَسَارِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَاعِدًا، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمًا،، ، يَقْتَدِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالنَّاسُ يَقْتَدُونَ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) was afflicted with his final illness, once Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came to inform him about the prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted man; when he stands in your place, he will begin to weep and will not be able to control himself. Therefore, please order Umar to do it." The Prophet (ﷺ) again gave the same order, and we repeated our statement. For the third time, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. You are like the women around Yusuf." So I sent the message to my father. After a while, the Prophet (ﷺ) felt some relief from his illness and came out supported by two men, such that his feet were dragging lines on the ground. When Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) realized this, he began to step back, but the Prophet (ﷺ) gestured to him to remain in his place. The Prophet (ﷺ) then sat on one side of Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). Thus, Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was following the Prophet (ﷺ), and the people were following Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him).
