ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَيْشِيُّ ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، " أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ وَجِعًا فَأَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ، فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خِفَّةً فَجَاءَ فَقَعَدَ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَأَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ ، وَأَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ " .
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with an illness, he ordered Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the people in prayer. Then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt better, he came and sat beside Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in prayer while he was sitting, and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer while standing.
