716. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: the Mother of the faithful believers: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in his last illness said, "Tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in the Ṣalāt (prayer)." I said, "If Abū Bakr stood in your place, he would not be able to make the people hear him because of (his) weeping. So please order 'Umar to lead the people in the Ṣalāt." He said, "Tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer)." I said to Ḥafṣa, "Say to him, 'Abū Bakr is a soft- hearted man and if he stood in your place he would not be able to make the people hear him because of (his) weeping. So, order 'Umar to lead the people in the Salāt." Hāfša did so but Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Māh (stop or keep quiet). Indeed you (women) are the companions of (Prophet) Yūsuf (Joseph). Tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in the prayer." Hāfša said to me, "I never got any good from you."

716 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ المُؤْمِنِينَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ: «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِذَا قَامَ فِي مَقَامِكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ مِنَ البُكَاءِ، فَمُرْ عُمَرَ فَلْيُصَلِّ، فَقَالَ: «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لِحَفْصَةَ: قُولِي لَهُ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِذَا قَامَ فِي مَقَامِكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ مِنَ البُكَاءِ، فَمُرْ عُمَرَ فَلْيُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ، فَفَعَلَتْ حَفْصَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْ إِنَّكُنَّ لَأَنْتُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ، مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَلْيُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ» قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ لِعَائِشَةَ: مَا كُنْتُ لِأُصِيبَ مِنْكِ خَيْرًا
