ʿAisha said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer during his illness and so he led them in prayer." ʿUrwa, a sub narrator, added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt a bit relieved and came out and Abu Bakr was leading the people. When Abu Bakr saw the Prophet ﷺ he retreated but the Prophet beckoned him to remain there. Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat beside Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was following the prayer of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr."  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ فَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اسْتَأْخَرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِذَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Abu Bakr that he should lead people in prayer during his illness, and he led them in prayer. ʿUrwa said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt relief and went (to the mosque) and Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him he began to withdraw, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ signaled him to remain where he was. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat opposite to Abu Bakr by his side. Abu Bakr said prayer following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the people said prayer following the prayer of Abu Bakr.  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ وَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اسْتَأْخَرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَىْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حِذَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer when he was sick, and Abu Bakr used to lead them in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to feel a little better, so he came out, and saw Abu Bakr leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him, he stepped back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to stay where he was. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat beside Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr.”  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ وَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اسْتَأْخَرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَىْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِذَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said during his illness, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." So Abu Bakr came out, performed the takbeer, and found that the Prophet ﷺ felt relieved. Then he went between two men to support himself and when Abu Bakr saw him, he stepped back and the Prophet ﷺ motioned to him, saying, "Stay where you are." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sat next to Abu Bakr and recited from the place to which Abu Bakr had reached in the surah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَكَبَّرَ وَوَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَاحَةً فَخَرَجَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ تَأَخَّرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺمَكَانَكَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَاقْتَرَأَ مِنَ المَكَانِ الَّذِي بَلَغَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنَ السُّورَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer during his illness, so he would lead them in prayer. Urwa said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt better and went out, and he saw Abu Bakr leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him, he wanted to step back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to him to remain as he was. The Prophet ﷺ placed the footwear of Abu Bakr next to him, and Abu Bakr led the people in prayer following the way of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while the people followed the prayer of Abu Bakr."
