[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said during his illness in which he eventually passed away, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said, "Indeed, when Abu Bakr stands in your place, the people will not be able to hear the crying." He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." So, I said to Hafsa, "Tell him that Abu Bakr cannot be heard crying. If only you had commanded Umar." He replied, "O companions of Yusuf, tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Then, Hafsa turned towards me and said, "I would not be harmed by anything you do."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ قُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِذَا قَامَ مَقَامَكَ لَمْ يُسْمِعِ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ قَالَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ قُولِي إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَا يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ فَلَوْأَمَرْتَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ صَوَاحِبَ يُوسُفَ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَالْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيَّ حَفْصَةُ فَقَالَتْ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُصِيبَ مِنْكِ خَيْرًا
