[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.

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill with the sickness that would be his last” – (One of the narrators) Abu Mu’awiyah said: “When he was overcome by sickness” – “Bilal came to tell him that it was time for prayer. He said, ‘Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and when he takes your place he will weep and not be able to do it. Why do you not tell ‘Umar to lead the people in prayer?’ He said: ‘Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer; you are (like) the female companions of Yusuf.’” She said: “So we sent word to Abu Bakr, and he led the people in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to feel a little better, so he came out to the prayer, supported by two men with his feet making lines along the ground. When Abu Bakr realized that he was there, he wanted to step back, but the Prophet ﷺ gestured to him to stay where he was. Then (the two men) brought him to sit beside Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr was following the lead of the Prophet ﷺ and the people were following Abu Bakr.”

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill with what would be his final illness, he was in the house of ‘Aishah. He said: ‘Call ‘Ali for me.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, should we call Abu Bakr for you?’ He said: ‘Call him.’ Hafsah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, should we call ‘Umar for you?’ He said: ‘Call him.’ Ummul-Fadl said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, should we call Al-‘Abbas for you?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ When they had gathered, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lifted his head, looked and fell silent. ‘Umar said: ‘Get up and leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’ Then Bilal came to tell him that the time for prayer had come, and he said: ‘Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a soft and tender-hearted man, and if he does not see you, he will weep and the people will weep with him. If you tell ‘Umar to lead the people in prayer (that would be better).’ Abu Bakr went out and led the people in prayer, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt a little better, so he came out, supported by two men, with his feet making lines along the ground. When the people saw him, they said: ‘Subhan-Allah,’ to alert Abu Bakr. He wanted to step back, but the Prophet ﷺ gestured him to stay where he was. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat on his right. Abu Bakr stood up and he was following the lead of the Prophet ﷺ, and the people were following the lead of Abu Bakr. Ibn ‘Abbas said; ‘And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started to recite from where Abu Bakr had reached.’”

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ fainted and then woke up and said, "Did the people pray?" We said, "No." He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted person, he will not be able to lead the people in prayer when you are not there." He said, "Aasim, and the tender-hearted person is the best of the merciful." He said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." He said that three times, and each time I replied to him. She said, "So Abu Bakr led the people in prayer." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt a lightness in his soul, and he went out between Barirah and Nubata, and said, "I am looking at his two sandals making tracks in the sand, and I'm looking at the soles of his feet." He said to them, "Sit me next to Abu Bakr." So, when Abu Bakr saw him, he started to move aside, but he gestured to him to stay in his place. So, they made him sit next to Abu Bakr. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed while he was sitting, and Abu Bakr was standing, leading the people in prayer with the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the people were praying with the prayer of Abu Bakr."  

ابن حبّان:٢١١٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَوْلَى ثَقِيفٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْعَبْسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ * عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

أُغْمِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ «أَصَلَّى النَّاسُ؟ » قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسُ؟ » فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ إِذَا قَامَ مَقَامَكَ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ قَالَ عَاصِمٌ وَالْأَسِيفُ الرَّقِيقُ الرَّحِيمُ قَالَ «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ» قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَدَ خِفَّةً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ بَرِيرَةَ وَنُوبَةَ إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى نَعْلَيْهِ تَخُطَّانِ فِي الْحَصَا وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى بُطُونِ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا «أَجْلِسَانِي إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ يَتَأَخَّرُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اثْبُتْ مَكَانَكَ فَأَجْلَسَاهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ»

[Machine] I traveled with Ibn Abbas from Medina to Sham (Syria). So, I asked him, and he mentioned the narration regarding the illness of the Prophet ﷺ until he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw himself being light, so he came out leaning with the help of two men. When the people noticed, they began to say tasbih (glorify Allah through praises). Abu Bakr moved back, so the Prophet ﷺ signaled him with his hand indicating for him to stay where he was. Then the Prophet ﷺ started the prayer from where Abu Bakr had left off reciting the Quran. Abu Bakr was standing and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting. Abu Bakr approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people approached Abu Bakr. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not finish the prayer until he became heavy (due to illness). Then he came out leaning with the help of two men, and his feet were dragging on the ground. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died and he did not leave any instructions concerning his successor, and it is also narrated from another perspective from Aisha."
