سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ
عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ : " مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ " . قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ ، فَمَتَى يَقُومُ مَقَامَكَ تُدْرِكُهُ الرِّقَةُ ؟ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ ، مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ " . فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلْفَهُ قَاعِدًا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said during his final illness: "Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted man; he will not be able to control his tears and the people will not be able to hear his voice." But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When I repeated (my request), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same order and said, "You are like the women who were infatuated with Yusuf (Joseph) (who concealed something in their hearts and expressed something else with their tongues)."
