English translation

4660. It was narrated from 'Abdul-Malik Ibn Abī Bakr bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Ḥārith, from Hishām, from his father, from 'Abdullāh bin Zam'ah who said: "When the illness of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ grew severe and I was with him along with a group of the Muslims, Bilāl called him to prayer and he said: 'Tell someone to lead the people in prayer.' 'Abdullāh bin Zam'ah went out and saw 'Umar among the people, and Abū Bakr was absent. I said: 'O 'Umar, get up and lead the people in prayer.' He went forward and said the Takbīr. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ heard his voice - as 'Umar was a man with a loud voice - he said: 'Where is Abū Bakr? Allāh and the Muslims do not approve of this, Allāh and the Muslims do not approve of this.' He sent for Abū Bakr, and he came after 'Umar, had offered that prayer, and he led the people in prayer." (Hasan)

4660 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا اسْتُعِزَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ دَعَاهُ بِلَالٌ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ: «مُرُوا مَنْ يُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ» فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ فِي النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ غَائِبًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا عُمَرُ قُمْ فَصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَتَقَدَّمَ فَكَبَّرَ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَوْتَهُ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ رَجُلًا مُجْهِرًا، قَالَ: «فَأَيْنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ؟ يَأْبَى اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ، يَأْبَى اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ» فَبَعَثَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَجَاءَ بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّى عُمَرُ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ
