While the Muslims were offering the Fajr prayer, Messenger of Allah ﷺ suddenly appeared before them by living the curtain of the dwelling place of ʿAisha, looked towards the Muslims who were standing in rows. He smiled with pleasure. Abu Bakr started retreating to join the row on the assumption that the Prophet wanted to come out for the prayer. The Muslims intended to leave the prayer (and were on the verge of being put to trial), but the Prophet ﷺ beckoned them to complete their prayer and then he let the curtain fall. He died in the last hours of that day.  

بَيْنَمَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ لَمْ يَفْجَأْهُمْ إِلاَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ فَتَبَسَّمَ يَضْحَكُ وَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ لِيَصِلَ لَهُ الصَّفَّ فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ وَهَمَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَنْ يَفْتَتِنُوا فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَتِمُّوا صَلاَتَكُمْ فَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ  

While the Muslims were offering the Fajr prayer on Monday and Abu Bakr was leading them in prayer, suddenly Messenger of Allah ﷺ lifted the curtain of ʿAisha's dwelling and looked at them while they were in the rows of the prayers and smiled. Abu Bakr retreated to join the row, thinking that Allah's Apostle wanted to come out for the prayer. The Muslims were about to be put to trial in their prayer (i.e. were about to give up praying) because of being overjoyed at seeing Messenger of Allah ﷺ. But Allah's Apostle beckoned them with his hand to complete their prayer and then entered the dwelling and let fall the curtain.  

أَنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَيْنَا هُمْ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ لَمْ يَفْجَأْهُمْ إِلاَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَةِ عَائِشَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ فِي صُفُوفِ الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ يَضْحَكُ فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ لِيَصِلَ الصَّفَّ وَظَنَّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ وَهَمَّ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَنْ يَفْتَتِنُوا فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ فَرَحًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِيَدِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَتِمُّوا صَلاَتَكُمْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْحُجْرَةَ وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ  

[Machine] Here is the translation of the passage into English:

Abu Bakr was leading them in prayer during the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which he passed away. On the Monday when they were lined up for prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pulled aside the curtain of the room and looked at us while standing, his face appearing like a page from the Quran. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled, laughing. We were astonished while we were in the prayer due to our joy at the appearance of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Bakr retreated to join the row, thinking that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would come out to lead the prayer. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ signaled to them with his hand to complete their prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went back and let the curtain fall. On that day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away.  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فِي وَجَعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِتْرَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْنَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ضَاحِكًا قَالَ فَبُهِتْنَا وَنَحْنُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ مِنْ فَرَحٍ بِخُرُوجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ لِيَصِلَ الصَّفَّ وَظَنَّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَارِجٌ لِلصَّلاَةِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ أَتِمُّوا صَلاَتَكُمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ قَالَ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "That the Muslims were praying Fajr prayer on Monday and Abu Bakr was leading them, and none of them was surprised except the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who had uncovered the curtain of Aisha's room and looked at them while they were in their rows of prayer. Then he smiled and laughed, and Abu Bakr stepped backward to join the row, thinking that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to go out for prayer."  

«أَنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَيْنَا هُمْ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ لَمْ يَفْجَأْهُمْ إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَةَ عَائِشَةَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ فَضَحِكَ فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ لِيَصِلَ الصَّفَّ وَظَنَّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
