48 – Hammād narrated from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqama, from ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lost consciousness he said, “Instruct Abū Bakr to lead the people in prayer.” They replied, “Abū Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and he himself is reluctant to stand in your place.” He said, “Carry out what I have commanded you.”
