ahmad:13028ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > al-Zuhrī > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] On Monday, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uncovered the door of the room and saw Abu Bakr praying with the people. He said, "I looked at his face and it appeared to me like the page of a Qur'an, and he was smiling." We were almost distracted in our prayers due to our joy of seeing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Bakr wanted to step back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ signaled to him to remain as he was. Then the curtain was closed again as it had been before. Umar stood up and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not die, but his Lord has sent him just as He sent Moses, and he stayed away from his people for forty nights. By Allah, I hope that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will live until he cuts off the hands of men of the hypocrites and their tongues, who claim or say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died."

أحمد:١٣٠٢٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سِتْرَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَرَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وَهُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ قَالَوَكِدْنَا أَنْ نُفْتَتَنَ فِي صَلَاتِنَا فَرَحًا لِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ كَمَا أَنْتَ ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ فَقُبِضَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَمَكَثَ عَنْ قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِي رِجَالٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أَوْ قَالَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ

بالله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم سِتْرَ الْحُجْرَةِ وَأبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وهُو يَتَبَسَّمُ كِدْنَا أَن نُفْتَتَنَ فِي صَلاتِنَا فَرَحًا بِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُنَكِّصَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ كَمَا أَنْتَ ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ حَتَّى قُبِضَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ
