the mother of the faithful believers: Allah’s Apostle in his last illness said, “Tell Abu Bakr to lead the

if he stood in your place he would not be able to make the people hear him owing to his weeping. So
order ‘Umar to lead the people in the prayer.’ ” Hafsa did so but Allah’s Apostle said, “Keep quiet. Ver –
ily you are the companions of (Prophet) Joseph. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer.” Hafsa
said to me, “I never got any good from you.”
