683. Narrated ‘Urwa’s father رضي الله عنه: ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها said, “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ ordered Abū Bakr to lead the people in Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer) during his illness and so he led them in prayer.” ‘Urwa, a subnarrator, added, “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ felt a bit relieved and came out and Abū Bakr was leading the people (in Ṣalāt). When Abū Bakr saw the Prophet ﷺ, he retreated but the Prophet ﷺ beckoned him to remain there. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ sat beside Abū Bakr. Abū Bakr was following the Ṣalāt of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and the people were following the Ṣalāt (prayer) of Abū Bakr.”
