أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ جُنَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ
لَمَّا ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ مَتَى يَقُمْ مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ لَوْ أَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ قَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ قُولِي لَهُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ مَتَى يَقُمْ مَقَامَكَ لَا يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ قَالَ «إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ» فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خِفَّةً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَامَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَرِجْلَاهُ تَخُطُّ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِسَّهُ ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ فَأَوْمَأَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَمَا أَنْتَ» حَتَّى جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ يَسَارِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَاعِدًا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمٌ يَقْتَدِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يَقْتَدُونَ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became gravely ill, Bilal came to tell him it was time for prayer. He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man; whenever he stands in your place, he will not make the people hear [due to weeping]. If only you would order 'Umar." He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said to Hafsah, "Tell him." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man; whenever he stands in your place, he will not make the people hear." He said, "You are indeed like the women around Yusuf. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When he entered the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ found some relief, so he stood up, supported between two men, with his feet dragging on the ground, until he entered the mosque. When Abu Bakr heard his sound, he began to step back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him, "Stay as you are." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down to the left of Abu Bakr. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with the people sitting, while Abu Bakr stood, following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the people followed the prayer of Abu Bakr.

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
روى الثقات الحفاظ أن أبا بكر كان خلف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي بصلاته والناس قيام يصلون بصلاة أبي بكر فهذه زيادة حافظ وصف الحال وأتى بالحديث على وجهه
machine translationThe trustworthy (thiqāt) memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) narrated that Abū Bakr was behind the Messenger of God ﷺ, praying with his prayer, while the people stood praying with the prayer of Abū Bakr. This is an addition from a memorizer (ḥāfiẓ) who described the situation and brought the hadith in its proper form.
