حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
لَمَّا ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ: مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ، وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى يَقُومُ مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ، فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ. قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ: قُولِي لَهُ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ حَفْصَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ، وَإِنَّهُ مَتَى يَقُومُ مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ، فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُنَّ لَأَنْتُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ، مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ. قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً، فَقَالَتْ: فَقَامَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ، وَرِجْلَاهُ تَخُطَّانِ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِسَّهُ، ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَنْ قُمْ كَمَا أَنْتَ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَنْ يَسَارِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَاعِدًا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمًا يَقْتَدِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَالنَّاسُ يَقْتَدُونَ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became seriously ill, Bilal came to inform him of the prayer time. He said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' She said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and whenever he stands in your place he cannot make the people hear him, so if only you would order 'Umar.' He said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' She said: I said to Hafsah: 'Say it to him.' Hafsah said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and whenever he stands in your place he cannot make the people hear him, so if only you would order 'Umar.' He said: 'Indeed you are like the women around Yusuf. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.' She said: So they ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. When he entered the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt some relief, so he stood up, being supported between two men, with his feet dragging on the ground, until he entered the mosque. When Abu Bakr heard his movement, he moved to step back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him: 'Stay where you are.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat to the left of Abu Bakr, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed seated while Abu Bakr stood, Abu Bakr following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the people following the prayer of Abu Bakr.
