It is narrated from Qais bin Abi Hazim, he says: I was sitting in the service of the Caliph of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), one month after the passing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Suddenly, he remembered something and had it announced among the people: "As-Salāh Jāmi‘ah" (the prayer is gathering). This was the first prayer among the Muslims for which the words "As-Salāh Jāmi‘ah" were used to make the announcement. The people gathered, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) ascended the pulpit, praised and glorified Allah, and said: O people! I wish that someone else would take up this burden of the caliphate and I would be relieved of it. If you begin to hold me accountable according to the Sunnah of your Prophet, I will not be able to bear it. Revelation used to descend from the heavens upon him (peace and blessings be upon him), so he was protected and safeguarded from the influence of Satan.
