Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:Abu Bakr came from his house at As-Sunh on a horse. He dismounted and entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the people till he entered upon `Aisha and went straight to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was covered with Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the Prophet's face and bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will never cause you to die twice. As for the death which was written for you, has come upon you." Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Abu Bakr went out while `Umar bin Al-Khattab was talking to the people. Abu Bakr said, "Sit down, O `Umar!" But `Umar refused to sit down. So the people came to Abu Bakr and left `Umar. Abu Bakr said, "To proceed, if anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad , then Muhammad is dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die. Allah said:--"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle, and indeed (many) apostles have passed away before him..(till the end of the Verse )......Allah will reward to those who are thankful." (3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and all the people received it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it (then). Narrated Az-Zuhri: Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab told me that `Umar said, "By Allah, when I heard Abu Bakr reciting it, my legs could not support me and I fell down at the very moment of hearing him reciting it, declaring that the Prophet (ﷺ) had died

Aisha bataati hain: Abu Bakr apne ghar As-Sunh se ghode par sawaar hokar aaye. Wo utre aur Masjid mein daakhil hue, magar kisi se baat nahi ki jab tak Aisha ke paas nahi pahunche aur seedhe Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas gaye, jinhein Hibra kapde (yaman ka ek kism ka kapda) se dhaka gaya tha. Unhone Nabi (SAW) ka chehra khola, unpar jhuk gaye, unhe chooma aur rone lage, kaha, 'Mere maa baap aap par qurbaan hon. Allah ki qasam, Allah aapko kabhi do baar maut nahi dega. Jo maut aapke liye likhi thi, wo aa chuki hai.' Ibn Abbas bataate hain: Abu Bakr baahar aaye jabke Umar bin Al-Khattab logon se baat kar rahe the. Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Baith jao, aye Umar!' Magar Umar ne baithne se inkaar kar diya. To log Abu Bakr ke paas aa gaye aur Umar ko chhod diya. Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Ab, agar tum mein se koi Muhammad ki ibaadat karta tha, to Muhammad wafat pa chuke hain, lekin agar tum mein se koi Allah ki ibaadat karta hai, to Allah zinda hai aur kabhi nahi marega. Allah ne farmaya hai: "Muhammad ek Rasool hi to hain, aur unse pehle bhi kai Rasool guzar chuke hain..." (Surah Aal-e-Imran, 3:144, aayat ke aakhir tak) "...Allah shukr karne walon ko badla dega."' Allah ki qasam, aisa lagta tha ke logon ko is aayat ke pehle se Allah ke naazil karne ka pata hi nahi tha, jab tak Abu Bakr ne ise padha, aur sab logon ne usse ye seekh li, aur maine sabko usko (baad mein) padhte hue suna. Az-Zuhri bataate hain ke Saeed bin Al-Musaiyab ne mujhe bataya ke Umar ne kaha, 'Allah ki qasam, jab maine Abu Bakr ko ye padhte suna, to mere pair mera saath nahi de sake aur main usi waqt gir pada jab maine unse ye sunte hue jaana ke Nabi (SAW) ki wafat ho chuki hai.'
