Hamza bin Abdullah, apne waalid ke hawale se: "Jab Allah ke Rasool sakht bimar hue, unhe namaz ke baare mein bataya gaya. Aap ne farmaya: 'Abu Bakr se kaho logon ki imamat karein.' Ayesha ne kaha: 'Abu Bakr narm-dil hain, Quran padhte huye rone se ghalba khaa jayenge.' Aap ne unhe phir kaha: 'Usse kaho imamat kare.' Wahi jawab mila. Aap ne phir kaha: 'Usse kaho imamat kare. Tum (aurtein) Yusuf ki sathi ho.'"
