(Second chain) It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was ill in the house of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), he (peace and blessings be upon him) sought permission from his wives, saying,“You may visit me for my care in the house of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).”All the wives gladly granted him (peace and blessings be upon him) this permission. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came supported by Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man, in such a state that his (peace and blessings be upon him) feet were dragging on the ground. Ubaidullah says: Upon hearing this, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“Do you know who the other man was? He was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).”But Umm al-Mu’minin (may Allah be pleased with her), since she was displeased with him, did not mention his name. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the house of Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abdullah bin Zam’ah:“Go and tell the people to perform the prayer.”He went and met Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said:“O Umar! Lead the people in prayer.”When he began to lead the prayer and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard his voice, because he had a loud voice, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Is this not the voice of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?”The Companions said:“Yes, O Messenger of Allah!”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah Almighty and the believers will not accept this. Tell Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the people in prayer.”Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted:“O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) is soft-hearted; when he recites the Qur’an, he weeps, he cannot control his tears.”Sayyida (may Allah be pleased with her) says:“I only said this so that people would not sin by saying such things about Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), that he was the first person to stand in the place of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).”He (peace and blessings be upon him) again said:“Tell Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the people in prayer.”I also repeated my statement. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. You are like the women who tried to beguile Yusuf (peace be upon him).”
