Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out (to the people) for three days during his illness. During those days, on one of the days, the prayer was established and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward (to lead), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted the curtain (of his blessed chamber). When the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became visible, we had never seen a scene more beautiful than his radiant and blessed face (may we be sacrificed for such beauty and grace). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) to move forward, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) let the curtain fall, and after that, until his passing, no one was able to see him.
