[943] 97 - (...) It was narrated from Hishâm, from his father ('Urwah), that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanded Abû Bakr to lead the people in prayer when he was sick, and he used to lead them in prayer." 'Urwah said: "Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ felt a little better, so he came out and sat beside Abû Bakr, and Abû Bakr was leading the people in prayer. When Abû Bakr saw him, he moved backwards, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gestured to him to stay where he was. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sat beside Abû Bakr and Abû Bakr was following the prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the people were following the prayer of Abû Bakr."
