حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْن بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ
عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي
أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّ
عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ : أَنَّ
أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ مَسْكَنِهِ بِالسُّنْحِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْ النَّاسَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ، فَتَيَمَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُغَشًّى بِثَوْبِ حِبَرَةٍ ، فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ، ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَبَكَى ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، وَاللَّهِ لَا يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مَوْتَتَيْنِ ، أَمَّا الْمَوْتَةُ الَّتِي كُتِبَتْ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ مُتَّهَا .
Narrated `Aisha: Abu Bakr came from his house at As-Sunh on a horse. He dismounted and entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the people till he entered upon `Aisha and went straight to Allah's Apostle who was covered with Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the Prophet's face and bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will never cause you to die twice. As for the death which was written for you, has come upon you."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
At the time of the Messenger of Allah’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passing, Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) arrived from the place of Sakhan, which was the residence of his wife, the daughter of Kharijah.
He had been residing there with the permission of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
He came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said:
Allah, the Exalted, will not combine two deaths upon you.
➋
In fact, some people thought that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would soon come back to life and would cut off the hands of people, and then he would be subjected to a second death.
Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) clarified that Allah, the Exalted, had granted him (the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) this honor and distinction that He did not give him two deaths, as He had subjected Uzayr (alayhis salam) and some of the Children of Israel to two deaths.
The death that was to come upon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has already come; now there will be no second death.
In such circumstances, Allah, the Exalted, granted Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu) steadfastness so that he himself remained firm and gave courage to others as well.
And Allah knows best.
