حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ لَمَّا اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعُهُ قِيلَ لَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ: «مُرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ».

قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَجُلٌ رَقِيقٌ، إِذَا قَرَأَ غَلَبَهُ الْبُكَاءُ. قَالَ: «مُرُوهُ فَيُصَلِّي «فَعَاوَدَتْهُ. قَالَ: «مُرُوهُ فَيُصَلِّي، إِنَّكُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ». تَابَعَهُ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ وَابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْكَلْبِيُّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ.

وَقَالَ عُقَيْلٌ وَمَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

My father said, “When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) became seriously ill, he was told about the prayer. He said, ‘Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer.’ Aishah said, ‘Abu Bakr is a softhearted man and he would be overpowered by his weeping if he recited the Qur’an.’ He said to them, ‘Tell him (Abu Bakr) to lead the prayer. The same reply was given to him. He said again, ‘Tell him to lead the prayer. You (women) are the companions of Joseph.’’”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর রোগ যখন খুব বেড়ে গেল, তখন তাঁকে সালাতের জামা‘আত সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করা হল।

তিনি বললেন, আবূ বাকরকে বল, সে যেন লোকদের নিয়ে সালাত আদায় করে নেয়। ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) বলেন, আমি বললাম, আবূ বাকর (রাযি.) অত্যন্ত কোমল মনের লোক। কিরাআতের সময় কান্নায় ভেঙ্গে পড়বেন।

তিনি বললেন, তাঁকেই সালাত আদায় করতে বল। ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) সে কথার পুনরাবৃত্তি করলেন। তিনি আবার বললেন, তাঁকেই সালাত আদায় করতে বল। তোমরা ইউসুফ (‘আ.)-এর সাথী মহিলাদের মত। এ হাদীসটি যুহরী (রহ.) হতে বর্ণনা করার ক্ষেত্রে যুবাইদী, যুহরীর ভাতিজা ও ইসহাক ইবনু ইয়াহ্ইয়া কালবী (রহ.) ইউনুস (রহ.)-এর অনুসরণ করেছেন। এবং মা‘মার ও উকাইল (রহ.) যুহরী (রহ.)-এর মাধ্যমে হামযাহ (রাযি.) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে হাদীসটি (মুরসাল হিসেবে) বর্ণনা করেন।

ہم سے یحییٰ بن سلیمان نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ مجھ سے عبداللہ بن وہب نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ مجھ سے یونس بن یزید ایلی نے ابن شہاب سے بیان کیا، انہوں نے حمزہ بن عبداللہ سے، انہوں نے اپنے باپ عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما سے خبر دی کہ جب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی بیماری شدت اختیار کر گئی اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے نماز کے لیے کہا گیا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ ابوبکر سے کہو کہ وہ نماز پڑھائیں۔

عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے عرض کیا کہ ابوبکر کچے دل کے آدمی ہیں۔ جب وہ قرآن مجید پڑھتے ہیں تو بہت رونے لگتے ہیں۔ لیکن آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ ان ہی سے کہو کہ نماز پڑھائیں۔ دوبارہ انہوں نے پھر وہی عذر دہرایا۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پھر فرمایا کہ ان سے نماز پڑھانے کے لیے کہو۔

تم تو بالکل صواحب یوسف کی طرح ہو۔ اس حدیث کی متابعت محمد بن ولید زبیدی اور زہری کے بھتیجے اور اسحاق بن یحییٰ کلبی نے زہری سے کی ہے اور عقیل اور معمر نے زہری سے، انہوں نے حمزہ بن عبداللہ بن عمر سے، انہوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sulaiman] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yunus] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Hamzah bin 'Abdullah] ia mengabarkan kepadanya dari [Bapaknya] ia berkata, "Ketika Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam semakin parah sakitnya, dan disampaikan kepadanya tentang shalat berjama'ah.

Maka beliau berkata, "Suruhlah Abu Bakar untuk memimpin shalat orang-orang." 'Aisyah berkata, "Abu Bakar itu hatinya sangat lembut, jika membaca Al Qur'an maka ia akan menangis."

Beliau berkata lagi: "Suruhlah dia untuk memimpin shalat." Lalu 'Aisyah kembali mengulanggi jawabannya. Maka beliau pun bersabda: "Suruhlah dia untuk memimpin shalat. Kalian ini seperti isteri-isteri Yusuf!" Hadits ini dikuatkan oleh [Az Zubaidi], [Ibnu Akhi Az Zuhri] dan [Ishaq bin Yahya Al Kalbi] dari [Az Zuhri]. ['Uqail] dan [Ma'mar] menyebutkan dari [Az Zuhri] dari [Hamzah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam

İbn Şihab'tan gelen bilgiye göre: Hamza İbn Abdullah'ın babasının şöyle dediği nakledilmiştir: "Resul-i Ekrem Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in hastalığının ilerlediği günlerin birinde namaza çıkması için ashabın hatırlatması üzerine Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: Ebu Bekir (r.a.)'e söyleyin insanlara namazı kıldırsın' buyurdu. Aişe (r.anha); 'Ebu Bekir pek yufka yürekli, hisli bir insandır, namaz kıldırırken Kur'an okumaya başladığında gözyaşlarına hakim olamayıp ağlar' deyince Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem emrini tekrar etti.

Aişe (r.anha) aynı şekilde mukabelede bulununca Nebiyy-i Muhterem (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu; 'Söyleyin Ebu Bekir'e namazı kıldırsın, "Yusuf un başını derde sokan siz kadınlar değil misiniz zaten!?

What it means

When the last illness of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) became more intense, he was not able to lead the people in prayer, so he ordered those who were with him to tell Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the prayer. Abu Bakr used to weep much whenever he recited the Qur’an, so ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) made an excuse for him on account of his weeping.

However, in the Hadīth mentioned here, her real intention was not that Abu Bakr should not lead the prayer because of his weeping while reciting the Qur'an; rather, she feared that people would regard her father, Abu Bakr, as a bad omen for taking the place of the Prophet in leading the prayer (i.e. heralding his imminent death).

So she did not show what she was hiding in her heart. In a narration in Sahīh Muslim, ‘Ā'ishah said: "By Allah, there is nothing disturbing in it for me but the idea that people may see a bad omen in the first person to take the place of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)."

She said: "I tried to dissuade him twice or thrice (from appointing my father as Imām in prayer), but he ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer and said: 'You women are like the women who surrounded Yūsuf.'" He intended by saying "the women who surrounded Yūsuf" that they are like those women in the story of Prophet Yūsuf in showing outwardly what was contrary to what is in their hearts.

Although he used the plural form, he intended only one woman, which is ‘Ā'ishah, just as he intended by saying "those women who surrounded Yūsuf" only one woman, which is Zulaykha, wife of the ruler of Egypt at the time of Yūsuf. The aspect of similarity between the two women is that Zulaykha invited the women and outwardly showed them hospitality, but her inward intention behind inviting them was to make them look at the beauty of Yūsuf so that they would excuse her for loving him.

Likewise, ‘Ā'ishah outwardly expressed that the reason she wanted her father to be exempted from leading the prayer was that the worshipers would not hear his recitation of the Qur’an because of his weeping, whereas her real intention was her fear that people would find a bad omen in him, as explicitly mentioned in other narrations of the Hadīth, where she said: "...

the only reason that I argued with him (about this matter) was that I did not feel in my heart that after him (the Prophet) the people would ever love a man who had taken his place.”
