[Machine] I traveled with Ibn Abbas from Madinah to Sham and I asked him, "What was the advice that the Prophet ﷺ left behind?" He said, "When the Prophet ﷺ was sick with the illness that he eventually passed away in, he was in the house of Aisha and he said, 'Call Ali.' Aisha said, 'Shouldn't we call Abu Bakr, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Call him.' Then Hafsa said, 'Shouldn't we call Umar?' He said, 'Call him.' Then Umm al-Fadl said, 'Shouldn't we call Abbas, your uncle?' He said, 'Call him.' When they all came, he raised his head and did not see Ali. He remained silent and did not speak. Umar said, 'Everyone should leave the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. If he had any need for us, he would have mentioned it until then, three times.' Then he said, 'Let Abu Bakr lead the people in prayer.' Aisha said, 'Abu Bakr is present.' So Abu Bakr came forward to lead the people in prayer. The Prophet ﷺ saw him slightly weak and went to be supported between two men. When the people noticed, they began to glorify Allah, so Abu Bakr went back to delay the prayer. The Prophet ﷺ gestured to him indicating to stay in his place. The Prophet ﷺ began the prayer from where Abu Bakr had stopped reciting. Abu Bakr was still standing while the Prophet ﷺ was sitting. Then Abu Bakr brought the Prophet ﷺ forward and the people also brought Abu Bakr forward. The Prophet ﷺ did not complete the prayer until he became very heavy. He then went to be supported between two men and indeed his two feet were dragging on the ground. The Prophet ﷺ passed away and did not leave any final will.
سَافَرْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا مَرِضَ مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ كَانَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ «ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيًّا» فَقَالَتْ أَلَا نَدْعُو أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ «ادْعُوهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ أَلَا نَدْعُو عُمَرَ؟ قَالَ «ادْعُوهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ أَلَا نَدْعُو الْعَبَّاسَ عَمَّكَ؟ قَالَ «ادْعُوهُ» فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَلَمْ يَرَ عَلِيًّا فَسَكَتَ وَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قُومُوا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَوْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِلَيْنَا حَاجَةٌ ذَكَرَهَا حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لِيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ حَضَرَ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ خِفَّةً فَانْطَلَقَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ النَّاسُ سَبَّحُوا فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِيَتَأَخَّرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَكَانَكَ وَاسْتَفْتَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ حَيْثُ انْتَهَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فَائْتَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَائْتَمَّ النَّاسُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَمَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى ثَقُلَ جِدًّا فَخَرَجَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَإِنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ لَتَخُطَّانِ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُوصِ
