Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8934

وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ : مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ " . فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ . فَقَالَ : " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَإِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُاتُ يُوسُفَ " . فَأَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّاسَ وَالنَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَيٌّ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill and said: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah, my father is a soft-hearted man." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. You are like the women of (the story of) Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him)." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was alive (that is, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)).
Ahmad recorded it; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
