وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي قِصَّةِ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ – صلى الله عليه وسلم -بِالنَّاسِ, وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ – قَالَتْ: { فَجَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَنْ يَسَارِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ, فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ جَالِسًا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَائِمًا, يَقْتَدِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِصَلَاةِ اَلنَّبِيِّ – صلى الله عليه وسلم -وَيَقْتَدِي اَلنَّاسُ بِصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1 . 1 – صحيح. رواه البخاري (713)، ومسلم (418).

Narrated ‘Aishah (RA) regarding Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) leading the people in Salat (prayer) during his illness. She said, “He came and sat on the left side of Abu Bakr (RA). So he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was leading the people in prayer while sitting and Abu Bakr standing. Abu Bakr was following the prayer of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr.” [Agreed upon].
