Sahih Al Bukhari 681

Imām Bukhārī narrates: Abū Ma'mar narrated to us, he said: 'Abdul-Wārith narrated to us, he said: 'Abdul-'Azīz narrated to us, from Anas ibn Mālik, may Allāh be pleased with him, he said that:

for three days the Prophet ﷺ did not come out of the chamber. So the iqāmah for prayer was given, and Abū Bakr, may Allāh be pleased with him, stepped forward. Then the Prophet ﷺ raised the curtain of the chamber. Then when the face of the Prophet ﷺ appeared to us, we had never seen a more beautiful sight than the face of the Prophet ﷺ. When his face appeared to us, the Prophet ﷺ gestured with his hand towards Abū Bakr that he should step forward, and the Prophet ﷺ let down the curtain, then he was not able to pray after that, until he passed away.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ لَمْ يَخْرُجِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثًا، فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَذَهَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْحِجَابِ فَرَفَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا وَضَحَ وَجْهُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا نَظَرْنَا مَنْظَرًا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ وَضَحَ لَنَا، فَأَوْمَأَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ، وَأَرْخَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْحِجَابَ، فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ‏.‏
