4445. Narrated Ubaidullāh: 'Āishah said, "I argued with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ repeatedly about that matter [i.e., his order that Abū Bakr should lead the people in Ṣalāt (prayer) in his place when he was ill], and what made me argue so much was, that it never occurred to my mind that after the Prophet ﷺ, the people would ever love a man who had taken his place, and I felt that anybody standing in his place, would be a bad omen to the people, so I wanted Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to give up the idea of chosing Abū Bakr [to lead the people in Ṣalāt (prayer)]."
