680. Narrated Az-Zuhri: Anas bin Mālik Al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه told me, “Abū Bakr used to lead the people in Ṣalāt (prayer) during the fatal illness of the Prophet ﷺ till it wasMonday. When the people aligned (in rows)for Aš-Šalāt (the prayer), the Prophet ﷺlifted the curtain of his house and startedlooking at us and he was standing at thattime. His face was (glittering) like a page ofthe Qur'an and he smiled cheerfully. Wewere about to be put to trial for the pleasureof seeing the Prophet ﷺ. Abū Bakr retreatedto join the row as he thought that the Prophetﷺ would lead Aš-Šalāt. The Prophet ﷺbeckoned us to complete the Šalāt and helet the curtain fall. On the same day hedied."

Arabic text

680 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ - وَكَانَ تَبِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَدَمَهُ وَصَحِبَهُ - أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فِي وَجَعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ، فَكَشَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتْرَ الحُجْرَةِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْنَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ، ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ يَضْحَكُ، فَهَمَمْنَا أَنْ نَفْتَتِنَ مِنَ الفَرَحِ بِرُؤْيَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ لِيَصِلَ الصَّفَّ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَارِجٌ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ «فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَتِمُّوا صَلاَتَكُمْ وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ فَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ»
