The duration of Abu Bakr's leading the people in prayer during the Prophet's illness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah has guided you to the point: How many days did Abu Bakr and the people pray with him?

Answer:
The duration of the illness is known to be twelve days, or eleven days. He fell ill in the first part of Rabi' and died on the twelfth of Rabi'. This is the well-known view, though there is some disagreement on the matter. In any case, it was about ten days, slightly more or slightly less.
