712. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: When the Prophet ﷺ became ill in his fatal illness, someone came to inform him about Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer), and the Prophet ﷺ told him to tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in the Ṣalāt (prayer). I said, "Abū Bakr is a soft-hearted man and if he stands for the Ṣalāt in your place, he would weep and would not be able to recite (the Qur'ān)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell Abū Bakr to lead the Ṣalāt." I said the same as before. He ﷺ (repeated the same order and) on the third or the fourth time he said, "You (women) are the companions of Yūsūf (Joseph). Tell Abū Bakr to lead the Ṣalāt." So Abū Bakr led the Ṣalāt and meanwhile the Prophet ﷺ felt better and came out with the help of two men; as if I see him just now dragging his feet on the ground. When Abū Bakr saw him, he tried to retreat but the Prophet ﷺ beckoned him to carry on. Abū Bakr ﷺ retreated a bit and the Prophet ﷺ sat on his (left) side. Abū Bakr was repeating the Takbīr (Allāhu Akbar) of Allāh's Messenger for the people to hear.

712 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا مَرِضَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ أَتَاهُ بِلاَلٌ يُوذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ، فَقَالَ: «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ»، قُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ إِنْ يَقُمْ مَقَامَكَ يَبْكِي، فَلاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى القِرَاءَةِ، فَقَالَ: «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ»، فَقُلْتُ: مِثْلَهُ، فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ: «إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ، مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ»، فَصَلَّى وَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَخُطُّ بِرِجْلَيْهِ الأَرْضَ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ يَتَأَخَّرُ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ صَلِّ، فَتَأَخَّرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، وَقَعَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ التَّكْبِيرَ تَابَعَهُ مُحَاضِرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ
