حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ:
لَمَّا مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ أَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ فَأَذَّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ: يَا بِلَالُ، قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَدَعْ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَنْ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ: مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا تَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رُفِعَتِ السُّتُورُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَنَظَرْنَا إِلَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ عَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، فَظَنَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ فَتَأَخَّرَ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ صَلِّ مَكَانَكَ، فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَمَا رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى مَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ fell ill with the sickness in which he died, Bilal came to him and called the adhan for the prayer. He said: 'O Bilal, you have conveyed; so whoever wills, let him pray, and whoever wills, let him refrain.' He said: 'O Messenger of God, who shall lead the people in prayer?' He said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' When Abu Bakr advanced, the curtains were lifted from the Messenger of God ﷺ, and we looked at him, and it was as if he were a white leaf, upon him a black cloak. Abu Bakr thought that he wanted to come out, so he stepped back, but the Messenger of God ﷺ gestured to him: 'Pray in your place.' So Abu Bakr prayed, and we did not see the Messenger of God ﷺ again until he died that day.
