The Prophet ﷺ did not come out for three days. The people stood for the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead to lead the prayer. (In the meantime) the Prophet ﷺ caught hold of the curtain and lifted it. When the face of the Prophet ﷺ appeared we had never seen a scene more pleasing than the face of the Prophet ﷺ as it appeared then. The Prophet ﷺ beckoned to Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer and then let the curtain fall. We did not see him (again) till he died.  

لَمْ يَخْرُجِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَلاَثًا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحِجَابِ فَرَفَعَهُ فَلَمَّا وَضَحَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا نَظَرْنَا مَنْظَرًا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا فَأَوْمَأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ وَأَرْخَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْحِجَابَ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ did not come to us for three days. When the prayer was about to start. Abu Bakr stepped forward (to lead the prayer), and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lifted the curtain. When the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became visible to us, we (found) that no sight was more endearing to us than the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as it appeared to us. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ with the gesture of his hand directed Abu Bakr to step forward (and lead the prayer). The Apostle of Allah ﷺ then drew the curtain, and we could not see him till he died.  

لَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْنَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثًا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحِجَابِ فَرَفَعَهُ فَلَمَّا وَضَحَ لَنَا وَجْهُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا نَظَرْنَا مَنْظَرًا قَطُّ كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ وَأَرْخَى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحِجَابَ فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come out to us three times, so the prayer was established. Abu Bakr went ahead and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , with the Hijab." So he raised it, and when the Prophet's ﷺ face became visible to us, we did not see a sight more beautiful than the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when it became visible to us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then motioned with his hand towards Abu Bakr to come forward. He said, "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dropped the Hijab, which he could not lift until he died."  

لَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يتَقَدَّمُ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحِجَابِ فَرَفَعَهُ فَلَمَّا وَضَحَ لَنَا بَيَاضُ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا نَظَرْنَا مَنْظَرًا قَطُّ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ تَقَدَّمَ قَالَ «وَأَرْخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحِجَابَ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرِ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ ﷺ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come out to us three times, so the prayer was established. Abu Bakr went and led the people in prayer. Then the Prophet ﷺ raised the veil, and we did not see a more fascinating sight than when the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became clear to us. The Prophet ﷺ gestured to Abu Bakr to come forward and the Prophet ﷺ dropped the veil, but Abu Bakr did not reach him before he died.  

لَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْحِجَابَ فَمَا رَأَيْنَا مَنْظَرًا أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُ حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَوْمَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ وَأَرْخَى نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ الْحِجَابَ فَلَمْ يُوصَلْ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ  

" عَنْ أنَسٍ قَالَ: لَم يَخْرجْ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ثَلاثًا، فَأُقيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، وَذَهَبَ أبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلّى بِالنَّاسِ فَرَفَعَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ الحِجَابَ فَمَا رَأيْنَا مَنْظَرًا أعجب إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُ حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا وَجْهُ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فأوْمَأ النَّبىُّ ﷺ إِلَى أبِى بَكْرٍ أنْ يَقُومَ، وَأرْخَى الحِجَابَ، فَلَمْ يُرَ حَتَّى مَاتَ ".
