Musnad Abi Ya'la 6704 — he said: I came into the presence

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came into the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while his wives were with him, and they veiled themselves from me except Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). Then a medicine that is put into the nose was prepared for him, and it was forcibly poured into him from one corner of his blessed mouth. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (in displeasure): "Let everyone present in the house be given this same medicine, and let no one be left, except (Sayyiduna) Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), for my oath does not apply to him." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." At this, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Say to him (peace and blessings be upon him) that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stands in that place of leading the prayer, he will weep (out of tenderness of heart)." She said this to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) began leading the prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) felt some relief, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him (peace and blessings be upon him), he began to step back, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to him with his hand, meaning: "Stay in your place." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came and sat down beside him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began the recitation of the Qur'an from where Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had stopped.
