English translation

[948] 101 - (420) It was narrated that Abū Mūsā said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ fell sick and his sickness grew worse. He said: 'Tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' Āishah said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, Abū Bakr is a tender hearted man, and when he stands in your place he will not be able to lead the people in prayer.' He said: 'Tell Abū Bakr to lead the people in prayer. You are like the women around Yūsuf.' So Abū Bakr led them in prayer during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ."

101 - (420) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاشْتَدَّ مَرَضُهُ، فَقَالَ: «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ مَتَى يَقُمْ مَقَامَكَ لَا يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: «مُرِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَإِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ» قَالَ: فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَيَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
