حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ، أَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ بَعْدَ مَرَّتَيْنِ: يَا بِلَالُ، قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَدَعْ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ بِلَالٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، مَنْ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ: مُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ تَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، رُفِعَتْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ السُّتُورُ. قَالَ: فَنَظَرْنَا إِلَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ عَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ، فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَأَخَّرُ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَيُصَلِّيَ، فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالنَّاسِ، فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ بَعْدُ

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ fell ill with the illness in which he died, Bilal came to announce the prayer to him. He said after two times: O Bilal, you have conveyed it; so whoever wishes may pray, and whoever wishes may leave off. Bilal returned to him and said: O Messenger of God, may my father and mother be your ransom, who shall lead the people in prayer? He said: Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr stepped forward, the curtains were lifted from the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: We looked at him as if he were a white leaf, with a mantle upon him. Abu Bakr moved to step back, thinking that he wanted to come out for the prayer, but the Messenger of God ﷺ gestured to Abu Bakr to stand and pray. So Abu Bakr led the people in prayer, and we did not see him after that.
