    Chapter: The opening of the Prayer

    حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَوَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خِفَّةً فَخَرَجَ وَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اسْتَأْخَرَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَىْ كَمَا أَنْتَ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حِذَاءَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُصَلِّي بِصَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ‏.‏

    It was
    narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told
    Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer when he was sick, and Abu Bakr
    used to lead them in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began
    to feel a little better, so he came out, and saw Abu Bakr leading the
    people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him, he stepped back, but the
    Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gestured to him to stay where he was. Then
    the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat beside Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was
    following the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the people
    were following the prayer of Abu Bakr.”

    حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، مِنْ كِتَابِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ نُبَيْطٍ أَنْبَأَنَا عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ نُبَيْطِ بْنِ شَرِيطٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ أُغْمِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي مَرَضِهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ أَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ مُرُوا بِلاَلاً فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ وَمُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ – أَوْ لِلنَّاسِ – ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَفَاقَ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ أَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ مُرُوا بِلاَلاً فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ وَمُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَفَاقَ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ أَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ مُرُوا بِلاَلاً فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ وَمُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ أَبِي رَجُلٌ أَسِيفٌ فَإِذَا قَامَ ذَلِكَ الْمُقَامَ يَبْكِي لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ غَيْرَهُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَفَاقَ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ مُرُوا بِلاَلاً فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ وَمُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَإِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ أَوْ صَوَاحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ فَأَذَّنَ وَأُمِرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَجَدَ خِفَّةً فَقَالَ ‏”‏ انْظُرُوا لِي مَنْ أَتَّكِئُ عَلَيْهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَتْ بَرِيرَةُ وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَاتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِمَا فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَهَبَ لِيَنْكُصَ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اثْبُتْ مَكَانَكَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى قَضَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَلاَتَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قُبِضَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ غَيْرُ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ‏.‏

    It was
    narrated that Salim bin ‘Ubaid said: “The Messenger of Allah
    (ﷺ) fainted when he was sick, then he woke up and said: ‘Has the
    time for prayer come?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Tell Bilal
    to call
    the Adhan, and tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’
    Then he
    fainted, then he woke up and said: ‘Has the time for prayer
    come?’
    They said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Tell Bilal to call the
    Adhan, and tell Abu
    Bakr to lead the people in prayer.’ Then he
    fainted, then he woke up
    and said: ‘Has the time for prayer come?’
    They said: ‘Yes.’ He said:
    ‘Tell Bilal to call the Adhan, and
    tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in
    prayer.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘My
    father is a tender-hearted man, and if he
    stands in that place he
    will weep and will not be able to do it. If
    you told someone else to
    do it (that would be better).’ Then he
    fainted, then woke up and
    said: ‘Tell Bilal to call the Adhan, and
    tell Abu Bakr to lead the
    people in prayer. You are (like) the female
    companions of Yusuf.’
    So Bilal was told to call the Adhan and he did
    so, and Abu Bakr was
    told to lead the people in prayer, and he did so.
    Then the Messenger
    of Allah (ﷺ) felt a little better, and he said:
    ‘Find me someone
    I can lean on.’ Barirah and another man came, and he
    leaned on
    them. When Abu Bakr saw him, he started to step back, but
    (the
    Prophet (ﷺ)) gestured him to stay where he was. Then the
    Messenger
    of Allah (ﷺ) came and sat beside Abu Bakr, until Abu Bakr
    finished
    praying. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed away.”

    It was
    narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “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.’”

    Rak’ah of the prayer. When he realized that the Prophet (ﷺ)
    was
    there, he wanted to step back, but the Prophet (ﷺ) gestured to

    Sa’d
    bin Tariq said: “I said to my father: ‘O my father! You prayed
    behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and behind Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and
    ‘Uthman, and behind ‘Ali here in Kufah for about five years. Did
    they
    recite Qunut in Fajr?’ He said: ‘O my son! That is an
    innovation.’”

    Chapter: The opening of the Prayer

    حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ “‏ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلْيُلْغِ الشَّكَّ وَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَنَ التَّمَامَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَلاَتُهُ تَامَّةً كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ نَافِلَةً وَإِنْ كَانَتْ نَاقِصَةً كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ لِتَمَامِ صَلاَتِهِ وَكَانَتِ السَّجْدَتَانِ رَغْمَ أَنْفِ الشَّيْطَانِ ‏” ‏ ‏.‏

    It was
    narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “The Messenger of
    Allah
    (ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let
    him put aside uncertainty and act upon that which is certain. When he
    has made sure his prayer is complete, then let him prostrate twice.
    Then if his prayer was complete, that (extra) Rak’ah will be
    counted
    as voluntary, and if his prayer was lacking, that Rak’ah
    will complete
    his prayer, and the two prostrations will rub the
    Satan’s nose in the
    dust.’”
