Ubaydullah bin Abdullah reported,

I went to Ayesha and said to her, "Will you not tell me about the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?"She said, "Yes. The Prophet ﷺ became seriously ill, and he asked, 'Have the people prayed?'We said, 'No, Messenger of Allah, they are waiting for you.'He said, 'Place some water in the basin for me.' We did so, and he bathed. Then he tried to get up but fainted. When he came to, he asked, 'Have the people prayed?'We said, 'No, Messenger of Allah, they are waiting for you.'He said, 'Place some water in the basin for me.' We did so, and he bathed. Then he tried to get up but fainted. When he came to, he asked, 'Have the people prayed?'We said, 'No, Messenger of Allah, they are waiting for you.'He said, 'Place some water in the basin for me.' We did so, and he bathed. Then he tried to get up but fainted. When he came to, he asked, 'Have the people prayed?'We said, 'No, Messenger of Allah, they are waiting for you.'"She continued, "The people were sitting in the mosque waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to lead the late evening prayer. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent word to Abu Bakr instructing him to lead the people in prayer. The messenger came to him and said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ orders you to lead the people in prayer.'Abu Bakr, who was a tender-hearted man, said, 'Umar, you lead the people in prayer.'Umar replied, 'You are more deserving of that.'"She said, "So Abu Bakr led them in prayer during those days. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt some relief and went out, supported between two men, one of them being Abbas, for the noon prayer, while Abu Bakr was leading the people. When Abu Bakr saw him, he began to step back, but the Prophet ﷺ gestured to him not to withdraw. He said to the two men, 'Seat me beside him.' So they seated him next to Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was praying standing, following the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ, and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr, while the Prophet ﷺ was seated."Ubaydullah said, "I then went to Abdullah bin Abbas and said to him, 'Shall I relate to you what Ayesha told me about the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?'He said, 'Go ahead.'So I related her account to him, and he did not object to anything in it, except that he said, 'Did she name to you the man who was with Abbas?'I said, 'No.'He said, 'It was Ali.'"

حدثنا أحمد بن عبد الله بن يونس حدثنا زائدة حدثنا موسى بن أبي عائشة

عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله قال

دخلت على عائشة فقلت لها ألا تحدثيني عن مرض رسول الله ﷺ قالت بلى ثقل النبي ﷺ فقال أصلى الناس قلنا لا وهم ينتظرونك يا رسول الله قال ضعوا لي ماء في المخضب ففعلنا فاغتسل ثم ذهب لينوء فأغمي عليه ثم أفاق فقال أصلى الناس قلنا لا وهم ينتظرونك يا رسول الله فقال ضعوا لي ماء في المخضب ففعلنا فاغتسل ثم ذهب لينوء فأغمي عليه ثم أفاق فقال أصلى الناس قلنا لا وهم ينتظرونك يا رسول الله فقال ضعوا لي ماء في المخضب ففعلنا فاغتسل ثم ذهب لينوء فأغمي عليه ثم أفاق فقال أصلى الناس فقلنا لا وهم ينتظرونك يا رسول الله قالت والناس عكوف في المسجد ينتظرون رسول الله ﷺ لصلاة العشاء الآخرة قالت فأرسل رسول الله ﷺ إلى أبي بكر أن يصلي بالناس فأتاه الرسول فقال إن رسول الله ﷺ يأمرك أن تصلي بالناس فقال أبو بكر وكان رجلا رقيقا يا عمر صل بالناس قال فقال عمر أنت أحق بذلك قالت فصلى بهم أبو بكر تلك الأيام ثم إن رسول الله ﷺ وجد من نفسه خفة فخرج بين رجلين أحدهما العباس لصلاة الظهر وأبو بكر يصلي بالناس فلما رآه أبو بكر ذهب ليتأخر فأومأ إليه النبي ﷺ أن لا يتأخر وقال لهما أجلساني إلى جنبه فأجلساه إلى جنب أبي بكر وكان أبو بكر يصلي وهو قائم بصلاة النبي ﷺ والناس يصلون بصلاة أبي بكر والنبي ﷺ قاعد قال عبيد الله فدخلت على عبد الله بن عباس فقلت له ألا أعرض عليك ما حدثتني عائشة عن مرض رسول الله ﷺ فقال هات فعرضت حديثها عليه فما أنكر منه شيئا غير أنه قال أسمت لك الرجل الذي كان مع العباس قلت لا قال هو علي
