Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:That the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to her). "Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." She replied," Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted person and when he stands at your place, he will weep (so he will not be able to lead the prayer)." The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated the same order and she gave the same reply. The narrator, Shuba said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said on the third or fourth time. "You are (like) the female companions of Joseph. Order Abu Bakr to lead the prayer

Ayesha bataati hain: Nabi ne (unse) kaha, "Abu Bakr ko logon ki imaamat karne (namaz padhane) ka hukum do." Unhone jawab diya, "Abu Bakr ek narm dil wale insaan hain, aur jab woh aapki jagah khade honge, woh rone lagenge (isliye woh namaz nahi padha payenge)." Nabi ne yehi hukum dohraya aur unhone wahi jawab diya. Raawi Shuba ne kaha ke teesri ya chauthi baar Nabi ne kaha, "Tum log Yusuf ki saheliyon jaisi ho. Abu Bakr ko namaz padhane ka hukum do."
