1205. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه : While Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه was leading the people in the Fajr prayer on a Monday, the Prophet ﷺ surprised them suddenly having lifted the curtain of 'Aīshah's house, and looked at them while they were standing in rows and smiled. Abū Bakr tried to retreat back thinking that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wanted to come out for the Ṣalāt (prayer). The attention of the Muslims was diverted from the Ṣalāt (prayer) because they were delighted to see the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ waved his hand to them to complete their Ṣalāt (prayer), then he went back into the room and let down the curtain. The Prophet ﷺ expired on that very day.

1205 - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ يُونُسُ: قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّ المُسْلِمِينَ بَيْنَا هُمْ فِي الفَجْرِ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ، «فَفَجِئَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ، فَتَبَسَّمَ يَضْحَكُ» فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ، وَهَمَّ المُسْلِمُونَ أَنْ يَفْتَتِنُوا فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ، فَرَحًا بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ، فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ: «أَنْ أَتِمُّوا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الحُجْرَةَ، وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ»، وَتُوُفِّيَ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمَ
