ahmad:2055Yaḥyá b. Zakariyyā b. Abū Zāʾidah from my father > Abū Isḥāqaʿan al-Arqam b. Shuraḥbīl > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ fell ill, he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. Then he felt better and went out. When Abu Bakr realized this, he wished to step back, but the Prophet ﷺ motioned to him and sat down beside Abu Bakr on his left. And he started the prayer from the verse that Abu Bakr had concluded with.  

أحمد:٢٠٥٥حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَعَنِ الْأَرْقَمِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا مَرِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ وَجَدَ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَاسْتَفْتَحَ مِنَ الآيَةِ الَّتِي انْتَهَى إِلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ
