Hadith 305
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَأَتَى ، فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَاسْتَأْخَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ كَمَا أَنْتَ ، فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out during his illness of death, so he came to the mosque and found Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) leading the people in prayer. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to step back, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gestured to him, "Stay in your place." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then sat beside Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sayyiduna as-Siddiq al-Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) would follow the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the people would follow the prayer of Sayyiduna as-Siddiq al-Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him).
