Hadith 1617
فَفِي خَبَرِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَخَبَرِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ الإِمَامَ " . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ : كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُقَدَّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ "
In the narration from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported by Urwah and Aswad, it is stated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself was the Imam. And with a similar chain of narration, it is reported from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She says that some people say that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) (as Imam), and some people say that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stood in front of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).
