The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."Ayesha said, "Messenger of Allah, when Abu Bakr stands in your place, the people cannot hear him because of his weeping. So order Umar to lead the people in prayer."He said again, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."Ayesha said, I told Hafsah, "Tell him that when Abu Bakr stands in your place, the people cannot hear him because of his weeping, so order Umar to lead the people in prayer."Hafsah did so, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are indeed like the women who tried to tempt Yusuf. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."Hafsah then said to Ayesha, "I was never going to get any good from you."
حدثنا إسحق بن موسى الأنصاري حدثنا معن حدثنا مالك بن أنس عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه
أن النبي ﷺ قال مروا أبا بكر فليصل بالناس فقالت عائشة يا رسول الله إن أبا بكر إذا قام مقامك لم يسمع الناس من البكاء فأمر عمر فليصل بالناس قالت فقال مروا أبا بكر فليصل بالناس قالت عائشة فقلت لحفصة قولي له إن أبا بكر إذا قام مقامك لم يسمع الناس من البكاء فأمر عمر فليصل بالناس ففعلت حفصة فقال رسول الله ﷺ إنكن لأنتن صواحبات يوسف مروا أبا بكر فليصل بالناس فقالت حفصة لعائشة ما كنت لأصيب منك خيرا
