Authentic Supplications of the Prophet
Crying in Salat (83) |
`A'ishata 
said: "The Messenger of Allah
said in his sickness: Command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.
`A'ishata said: I said verily if Abu Bakr were to take your position,
people would not [be able to] hear [his recitation] due to the crying,
so command 'Umar to lead the people in prayer. He then said: Command
Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. 'A'ishata said to Hafsata:
Tell him that Abu Bakr is such that if he were to stand in your place,
the people would not [be able to] hear [his recitation] due to the
crying; so command 'Umar to lead the people in prayer. So Hafsata
did [as she was told]. Then, the Messenger of Allah
said: Meh, You are verily the "companionettes"(95)
of Yousif, Command Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. Hafsata
said to 'A'ishata: I was not about to strike any Good from you". |

(95) This word is not in the
dictionary; however, it seems to convey that the speech was directed
to the female gender which is desirable here since the Arabic was
in the form for addressing women.
