When the [[Prophet (s)]] was trying to send the army of [[Usama b. Zayd|Usama]] to [[Syria]], his illness so aggravated that when [[Bilal]] called for the prayer, he (s) could not get up for prayer and attend the mosque, so he (s) decided to send someone instead of himself for the prayer. There are disagreements regarding the way of holding this prayer, its leader, the number of prayers held without the presence of the Prophet (s), and that if a complete prayer was ever held by Abu Bakr or not. | When the [[Prophet (s)]] was trying to send the army of [[Usama b.

According to a hadith, when the Prophet's illness exacerbated, he said: "send someone to 'Ali and call him to visit me." [['A'isha]] suggested that someone be sent to Abu Bakr, and [[Hafsa]] sent someone to 'Umar. When they went to the Prophet, the Prophet said, "go away! If I needed you, I would summon you." | |||
With all such differences in reports, it is said that Abu Bakr stood to lead the prayer instead of the Prophet (s). However, the reaction of the Prophet (s) about this prayer has been reported differently. There is a report from [[Aisha]] that when Abu Bakr was in the middle of this prayer, the Prophet (s) got better, got up and came to the mosque while he (s) leaned on two people and his feet were being dragged on the ground. As soon as Abu Bakr found that the Prophet (s) was there, stood aside, but the Prophet (s) pointed that he should stay where he was. Then the Prophet (s) came and sat on his left. So, the Prophet (s) prayed while sitting and Abu Bakr prayed normally. Abu Bakr followed the Prophet's (s) prayer and people followed Abu Bakr's. | With all such differences in reports, it is said that Abu Bakr stood to lead the prayer instead of the Prophet (s).
