وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - ؓ قَالَتْ:
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ: قَدْ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، وَلَيْسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَاهِدًا، فَهَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أُؤَذِّنَ وَأُقِيمَ، وَتُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ؟ قَالَ ؓ: إِنْ شِئْتَ، فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ ؓ، وَأَقَامَ، وَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَمَا فَرَغَ، فَقَالَ: أَصَلَّيْتُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ ﷺ: مَنْ صَلَّى بِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ قَالَ ﷺ: أَحْسَنْتُمْ، لَا يَنْبَغِي لِقَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَؤُمَّهُمْ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to reconcile between them, and the prayer time arrived. Bilal said to Abu Bakr ؓ: 'The prayer time has arrived, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not present. Would you like me to call the adhan and the iqamah, and you lead the people in prayer?' He ؓ said: 'If you wish.' So Bilal ؓ called the adhan and the iqamah, and Abu Bakr ؓ advanced and led the people in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after he had finished, and said: 'Did you pray?' They said: 'Yes.' He ﷺ said: 'Who led you?' They said: 'Abu Bakr ؓ.' He ﷺ said: 'You have done well. It is not fitting for a people among whom Abu Bakr is present that anyone other than him should lead them.'
