Chapter 10 · Call to Prayers (Adhaan)أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ وَالْفَضْلِ أَحَقُّ بِالإِمَامَةِ
The people of knowledge and virtue are most entitled to lead the prayer
لَمْ يَخْرُجِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثًا، فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْحِجَابِ فَرَفَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا وَضَحَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا نَظَرْنَا مَنْظَرًا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا، فَأَوْمَأَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ، وَأَرْخَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْحِجَابَ، فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ.

Translation
Anas reported: The Prophet ﷺ did not come out for three (days). Then the iqamah was called, and Abu Bakr went to step forward. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ took hold of the screen and raised it. When the face of the Prophet ﷺ became visible, we had never seen a sight more wonderful to us than the face of the Prophet ﷺ when it became visible to us. Then the Prophet ﷺ gestured with his hand to Abu Bakr to step forward, and the Prophet ﷺ let the screen down. After that, no one was able (to see) him until he died.

Anas berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ kam drei (Tage) lang nicht heraus. Dann wurde die Iqama gerufen, und Abu Bakr ging, um vorzutreten. Da fasste der Prophet Allahs ﷺ den Vorhang und hob ihn. Als das Gesicht des Propheten ﷺ sichtbar wurde, hatten wir nie einen Anblick gesehen, der uns wunderbarer war als das Gesicht des Propheten ﷺ, als es uns sichtbar wurde. Da deutete der Prophet ﷺ mit seiner Hand Abu Bakr an, vorzutreten, und der Prophet ﷺ ließ den Vorhang herab. Danach konnte man ihn nicht mehr (sehen), bis er starb.

Enes (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ üç (gün) dışarı çıkmadı. Kamet getirildi, Ebû Bekir öne geçmeye davrandı. Allah'ın Nebîsi ﷺ perdeyi tutup kaldırdı. Nebî'nin ﷺ yüzü görününce, Nebî'nin ﷺ bize görünen yüzünden daha hoşumuza giden bir manzara görmemiştik. Nebî ﷺ eliyle Ebû Bekir'e öne geçmesini işaret etti ve Nebî ﷺ perdeyi indirdi. Vefat edinceye kadar da artık ona ulaşılamadı.

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فِي وَجَعِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَهُمْ صُفُوفٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ، فَكَشَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سِتْرَ الْحُجْرَةِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْنَا، وَهْوَ قَائِمٌ كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ، ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ يَضْحَكُ، فَهَمَمْنَا أَنْ نَفْتَتِنَ مِنَ الْفَرَحِ بِرُؤْيَةِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ لِيَصِلَ الصَّفَّ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَارِجٌ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ أَتِمُّوا صَلاَتَكُمْ، وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ، فَتُوُفِّيَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ.
