From Ubaydullah son of Abdullah son of Utbah,
He said, "I entered upon Aisha."
So I said, "Will you not tell me about the illness of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace?"
She said, 'Yes.'
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, became weak.
He said, "Have the people prayed?" We said, "No."
They are waiting for you. He said, "Put water for me in the basin."
She said, so we did; he washed, then he went to lie down, and he fainted.
Then he regained consciousness and said, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Have the people prayed?"
We said, "No; they are waiting for you, O Messenger of God."
He said, "Put water for me in the basin." She said; then he sat down and washed himself.
Then he went to lean over and fainted.
Then he regained consciousness and asked, "Did the people pray?" We said, "No."
They were waiting for you, O Messenger of Allah, so he said, "Put water for me in the basin."
He sat down, washed himself, went to lie down, and fainted.
Then he regained consciousness and asked, "Had the people prayed?" We said, "No."
They are waiting for you, O Messenger of Allah—
And the people remained in the mosque, waiting for the Prophet, peace be upon him.
for the final night prayer.
So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, sent to Abu Bakr asking him to lead the people in prayer.
A messenger came to him and said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, commands you to lead the people in prayer.
Abu Bakr, who was a gentle man, said, "O Umar, lead the people in prayer."
Umar said to him, "You are more entitled to that," so Abu Bakr led the prayer during those days.
Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, felt a lightness within his self, so he went out between two men.
One of them, Al-Abbas, performed the noon prayer, and Abu Bakr led the people in prayer.
When Abu Bakr saw him, he stepped back to stand further behind.
Then the Prophet gestured to him not to delay.
He said, "Seat me beside him," so they seated him beside Abu Bakr.
He said: Abu Bakr then led the prayer while following the Prophet's prayer.
The people were praying behind Abu Bakr, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was sitting.
Ubaydullah said, "I entered upon Abdullah ibn Abbas."
I said to him, "Shall I relate to you what Aisha told me about the Prophet's illness, may God bless him and grant him peace?"
He said, "Give it to me," and I presented her hadith to him.
And he did not deny any of it,
However, he said, 'Did she name for you the man who was with al‑Abbas?'
I said, "No." He said, "He is Ali."
