687. Narrated 'Ubaid-ullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utba: I went to 'Āishah رضي الله عنها and asked her to describe to me the illness of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. 'Āishah رضي الله عنها said, "Yes (I will tell you). The Prophet ﷺ became seriously ill and asked whether the people had offered the Ṣalāt (prayer). We replied, 'No, O Allāh's Messenger! They are waiting for you.' He added, 'Put water for me in a trough'. 'Aishah رضي الله عنها' added: "We did so. He took a bath and tried to get up, but fainted. When he recovered, he again asked whether the people had offered the Ṣalāt. We said, 'No, they are waiting for you. O Allāh's Messenger.' He again said, 'Put water in a trough for me.' He sat down and took a bath and tried to get up, but fainted again. Then he recovered and said, 'Have the people offered the Ṣalāt?' We replied, 'No, they are waiting for you, O Allāh's Messenger.' He said, 'Put water for me in the trough.' Then he sat down and washed himself and tried to get up but he fainted. When he recovered, he asked, 'Have the people offered the Ṣalāt?' We said, 'No, they are waiting for you, O Allāh's Messenger!' The people were in the mosque waiting for the Prophet ﷺ for the Ishā prayer. The Prophet ﷺ sent for Abū Bakr to lead the people in the Ṣalāt. The messenger went to Abū Bakr and said, 'Allāh's Messenger ﷺ orders you to lead the people in the Ṣalāt.' Abū Bakr was a soft-hearted man, so he asked 'Umar to lead the Ṣalāt but 'Umar replied, 'You are more rightful.' So Abū Bakr led the Ṣalāt in those days. When the Prophet ﷺ felt a bit better, he came out for the Zuhr prayer with the help of two persons one of whom was Al-'Abbās, while Abū Bakr was leading the people in the Ṣalāt. When Abū Bakr saw him (the Prophet ﷺ), he wanted to retreat but the Prophet ﷺ beckoned him not to do so and asked them to make him sit beside Abū Bakr and they did so. Abū Bakr was following the Prophet ﷺ (in the Ṣalāt) and the people were following Abū Bakr. The Prophet ﷺ (offered Ṣalāt) sitting." 'Ubaid-ullāh added, "I went to 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās and asked him, 'Shall I tell you what 'Āishah رضي الله عنها has told me about the fatal illness of the Prophet?' Ibn 'Abbās said, 'Go ahead.' I told him her narration and he did not deny anything of it but asked whether 'Āishah رضي الله عنها told me the name of the second person (who helped the Prophet ﷺ) along with Al-'Abbās. I said, 'No.' He said, 'He was 'Ali (Ibn Abī Ṭālib)'."

687 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ: أَلاَ تُحَدِّثِينِي عَنْ مَرَضِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَتْ: بَلَى، ثَقُلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ؟» قُلْنَا: لاَ، هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ، قَالَ: «ضَعُوا لِي مَاءً فِي المِخْضَبِ». قَالَتْ: فَفَعَلْنَا، فَاغْتَسَلَ، فَذَهَبَ لِيَنُوءَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ؟» قُلْنَا: لاَ، هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «ضَعُوا لِي مَاءً فِي المِخْضَبِ» قَالَتْ: فَقَعَدَ فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ لِيَنُوءَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ، فَقَالَ: «أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ؟» قُلْنَا: لاَ، هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «ضَعُوا لِي مَاءً فِي المِخْضَبِ»، فَقَعَدَ، فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ لِيَنُوءَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ: «أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ؟» فَقُلْنَا: لاَ، هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَالنَّاسُ عُكُوفٌ فِي المَسْجِدِ، يَنْتَظِرُونَ النَّبِيَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لِصَلاَةِ العِشَاءِ الآخِرَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِأَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، فَأَتَاهُ الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - وَكَانَ رَجُلًا رَقِيقًا -: يَا عُمَرُ صَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ، فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً، فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا العَبَّاسُ لِصَلاَةِ الظُّهْرِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَنْ لاَ يَتَأَخَّرَ، قَالَ: أَجْلِسَانِي إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، فَأَجْلَسَاهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَأْتَمُّ بِصَلاَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالنَّاسُ بِصَلاَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاعِدٌ، قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَلاَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكَ مَا حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ عَنْ مَرَضِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: هَاتِ، فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَدِيثَهَا، فَمَا أَنْكَرَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَسَمَّتْ لَكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَ العَبَّاسِ قُلْتُ: لاَ، قَالَ: هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
