في فعل النبي ﷺThe Prophet (ﷺ) Praying Under the Leadership of His Companions
Hadith 7355
٧٣٥٥ - حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا إسماعيل بن أبي خالد قال: سمعت أبا سلمة ابن عبد الرحمن يحدث أن النبي ﷺ اشتكى فقال: "مروا أبا بكر فليصل بالناس" فوجد النبي ﷺ من نفسه خفة (فخرج) (١) فلما رآه أبو بكر ذهب ليتأخر، فأومأ إليه النبي ﷺ مكانك فجاء النبي ﷺ حتى جلس إلى جنب أبي بكر، فكان أبو بكر يأتم بالنبي ﷺ والناس يأتمون بأبي بكر (٢).
Hazrat Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman narrates that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with his final illness, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." After a while, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt some lightness in his blessed body, he came outside. When Hazrat Abu Bakr saw him coming, he began to step back. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled to him to remain standing in his place. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sat beside Hazrat Abu Bakr. Hazrat Abu Bakr was following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people were praying behind Hazrat Abu Bakr.
