حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا اسْتُعِزَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ دَعَاهُ بِلَالٌ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ مُرُوا مَنْ يُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ فَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَمْعَةَ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ فِي النَّاسِ وَکَانَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ غَائِبًا فَقُلْتُ يَا عُمَرُ قُمْ فَصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَکَبَّرَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَوْتَهُ وَکَانَ عُمَرُ رَجُلًا مُجْهِرًا قَالَ فَأَيْنَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ يَأْبَی اللَّهُ ذَلِکَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ يَأْبَی اللَّهُ ذَلِکَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَی أَبِي بَکْرٍ فَجَائَ بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّی عُمَرُ تِلْکَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّی بِالنَّاسِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4660
Narrated Abdullah ibn Zam'ah: When the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became serious while I was with him among a group of people, Bilal called him for prayer. He said: Ask someone to lead the people in prayer. So Abdullah ibn Zam'ah went out and found that Umar was present among the people and Abu Bakr was not there. I said: Umar, get up and lead the people in prayer. So he came forward and uttered "Allah is Most Great". When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard his voice, as Umar had a loud voice, he said: Where is Abu Bakr? Allah does not allow that, and the Muslims too; Allah does not allow that, and the Muslims too. So he sent for Abu Bakr. He came after Umar had led the people in that prayer. He then led the people in prayer.
