Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) in his illness said, "Tell Bakr to lead the people in (prayer)." In this quotation it is added: I said to him, "If Bakr stands in your place, the people awould not hear him owing to his (excessive) weeping. So please order 'Umar to lead the Salât (prayer). Äisha added I said to, "Say to him: If Abu Bakr should lead the people in the (prayer) in your place, the people would not be able to hear him owing to his weeping; so please, order 'Umar to lead the (prayer)." Hafṣa did so but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Keep quiet ! Indeed you (women) are the companions of Yûsuf (Joseph). Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the (prayer)." said to 'Aisha " I never got anything ' good from you. [1:647-O.B.]
