إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ
صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي بُدِئَ فِيهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَارَأْسَاهْ ، فَقَالَ : " وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ وَأَنَا حَيٌّ ، فَهَيَّأْتُكِ وَدَفَنْتُكِ " . قَالَتْ : فَقُلْتُ غَيْرَى : كَأَنِّي بِكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَرُوسًا بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِكَ . قَالَ :
" وَأَنَا وَارَأْسَاهْ ، ادْعُوا ِلَيَّ أَبَاكِ وَأَخَاكِ حَتَّى أَكْتُبَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ كِتَابًا ، فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلٌ وَيَتَمَنَّى مُتَمَنٍّ : أَنَا أَوْلَى ، وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا أَبَا بَكْرٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the day when the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me. I was having a headache, so I said, "Oh, my head!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) jokingly said, "I wish that what is to happen would happen in my lifetime so that I could prepare you well and bury you." I said, "Is that your intention? You would become a bridegroom with another woman and spend the night with her that very day." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Oh, my head! Call your father and brother to me so that I may write a document for Abu Bakr, for I fear that someone will say something or someone will wish for something, claiming that he is more deserving of the caliphate, but Allah and all the Muslims will accept no one except Abu Bakr."
