حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ , عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ , فَقُلْتُ : أَلَا تُحَدِّثِينِي عَنْ مَرَضِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : بَلَى ، ثَقُلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ ؟ " فَقُلْنَا : لَا , هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : " ضَعُوا لِي مَاءً فِي الْمِخْضَبِ " فَفَعَلْنَا , فَاغْتَسَلَ , ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ لِيَنُوءَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ , ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ : " أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ ؟ " فَقُلْنَا : لَا , هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَقَالَ : " ضَعُوا لِي مَاءً فِي الْمِخْضَبِ " فَفَعَلْنَا , فَاغْتَسَلَ , ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ لِيَنُوءَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ , ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ , فَقَالَ : " أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ ؟ " فَقُلْنَا : لَا , هُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , قَالَتْ : وَالنَّاسُ عُكُوفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَنْتَظِرُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ , فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ , وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلًا رَقِيقًا , فَقَالَ : يَا عُمَرُ , صَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ , فَقَالَ : أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ , فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامَ , ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ خِفَّةً , فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَبَّاسُ لِصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ , فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ , فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا تَتَأَخَّرَ , وَأَمَرَهُمَا , فَأَجْلَسَاهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ , فَجَعَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي قَائِمًا , وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا , فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , فَقُلْتُ : أَلَا أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكَ مَا حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ عَنْ مَرَضِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ هَاتِ , فَحَدَّثْتُهُ , فَمَا أَنْكَرَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا , غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أسَمَّتْ لَكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَ الْعَبَّاسِ ؟ قُلْتُ لَا , قَالَ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ .
Ubaidullah bin Abdullah says that once I went to the service of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked, "Will you tell me something about the illness of the Prophet (peace be upon him) at the time of his death?" She said, "Why not? When the Prophet (peace be upon him) felt heavy (with illness), he asked, 'Have the people performed the prayer?' We said, 'No, O Messenger of Allah! They are waiting for you.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Place water for me in a tub.' We did so. The Prophet (peace be upon him) bathed, and as he was about to stand up to go, he fainted. When he regained consciousness, he asked the same question, 'Have the people performed the prayer?' We gave the same answer as before, and this happened three times. Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the people were sitting in the mosque waiting for the Prophet (peace be upon him) for the Isha prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) sent a message to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the people in prayer. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was a very soft-hearted man, so he said, 'O Umar! You lead the people in prayer.' Umar said, 'You are more deserving of it.' Thus, during those days, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) continued to lead the people in prayer. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) felt some relief in his illness, so at the time of the Zuhr prayer, he came out between two men, one of whom was Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). When Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Prophet (peace be upon him), he began to step back. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gestured to him not to step back and instructed the two men who were with him, so they seated the Prophet (peace be upon him) beside Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) continued to stand and pray, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed while sitting. Ubaidullah says that after hearing this hadith, once I was at the place of Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). I said to him, 'Shall I present to you the hadith that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated to me regarding the illness of the Prophet (peace be upon him) at the time of his death?' He said, 'Certainly, narrate it.' So I narrated the entire hadith to him. He did not object to any part of it, but he did ask, 'Did Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) tell you the name of the man who was with Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him)?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'He was Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). May Allah's mercy be upon him.'"
