Explanation of the Book of the Adhan-08b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Abdullah ibn Dawud narrated to us, saying: Al-A'mash narrated to us from Ibrahim from Al-Aswad from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill with the illness from which he died, Bilal came to him to call him to prayer. He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 682 I said: "Abu Bakr is a very emotional man; if he stands in your place, he will weep and be unable to recite." He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7303 I said the same thing. Then, on the third or fourth time, he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 712 So he led the prayer. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, supported between two men, as if I were looking at him dragging his feet on the ground. When Abu Bakr saw him, he tried to step back, but the Prophet gestured to him to continue leading. So Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped back, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat beside him, while Abu Bakr heard the people saying the takbir. A student followed him in the narration from Al-A'mash.
The Shaykh : This is the point of the narration: "and Abu Bakr heard the people saying the takbir." Because the voice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was weak due to his illness, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say the takbir, then Abu Bakr would say the takbir, and then the people would say the takbir following Abu Bakr's takbir. This is the basis for repeating the imam's actions behind him, as is done now in large mosques, especially before the advent of loudspeakers, where it is necessary to repeat the takbir.
Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer.
مروا أبا بكر فليصل بالناسOrder Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer
مروا أبا بكر فليصلYou are the companions of Joseph. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the prayer.
إنكن صواحب يوسف مروا أبا بكر فليصلThe Shaykh : This is the point of the narration: "and Abu Bakr heard the people saying the takbir."
