حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الْمَعْنَی أَنَّ اللَّيْثَ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ اشْتَکَی النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَائَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَأَبُو بَکْرٍ يُکَبِّرُ لِيُسْمِعَ النَّاسَ تَکْبِيرَهُ ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 606
Jabir said: when the prophet ﷺ became seriously ill, we prayed behind him while he was sitting and Abu Bakr was calling “Allah is most great “ to cause the people to hear the TAKBIR. Then he (the narrators) narrated the rest of the tradition.
