[936] 90 - (418) It was narrated that 'Ubaidullâh bin 'Abdullâh said: "I entered upon 'Aîshah and said to her: 'Will you not tell
me about the illness of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? She said: 'Yes. The Prophet ﷺ became very ill and said: "Did the people offered prayers?" We said: "No, they are waiting for you, O Messenger of Allāh." He said: "Put some water in the tub for me." We did that, and he performed Ghusl, then he tried to get up, but he fell unconscious. Then he came round and said: "Did the people offered prayers?" We said: "No, they are waiting for you, O Messenger of Allāh." He said: "Put some water in the tub for me." We did that, and he performed Ghusl, then he tried to get up, but he fell unconscious. Then he came round and said: "Did the people offered prayers?" He said: "Put some water in the tub for me." We did that, and he performed Ghusl, then he tried to get up, but he fell unconscious. Then he came round and said: "Did the people offered prayers?" We said: "No, they are waiting for you, O Messenger of Allāh." The people were gathered in the Masjid, waiting for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, to offer Ishā' prayer. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent word to Abū Bakr, telling him to lead the people in prayer. The messenger came to him and said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is ordering you to lead the people in prayer." Abū Bakr, who was a
tenderhearted man, said: "O 'Umar, lead the people in prayer." 'Umar said: "You are more entitled to do that." So Abū Bakr led them in prayer during those days. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ felt a little better, so he came out between two men (supporting him) - one of whom was Al-'Abbās - to offer Zuhr prayer. Abū Bakr was leading the people in prayer, but when Abū Bakr saw him, he started to move back. But the Prophet ﷺ gestured to him not to move back. He said to (the two men): "Seat me beside him." So they seated him beside Abū Bakr. Abū Bakr was offering prayers standing up, following the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ, and the people followed the prayer of Abū Bakr, and the Prophet ﷺ was sitting."
'Ubaidullāh said: "I entered upon 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās and said to him: 'Shall I not tell you what 'Aishah told me about the illness of the Prophet ﷺ?' He said: 'Tell me.' So I told him what she had said, and he did not object to any part of it, except that he said: 'Did she tell you the name of the one who was with Al-'Abbās?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'That was 'Alī, may Allāh the Most High, be pleased with him.'"
