البيهقي:٥٩٣٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

لَمَّا مَرِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي أَمْرِهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَلَاةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَخُرُوجُهُ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ يَتَآخَرُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ صَلِّ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَقَعَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ يُصَلِّي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُسْمِعُ النَّاسَ
