Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 71
Abu Qilaba said, "Malik bin Huwairith came to this Mosque of ours and said, 'I pray in front of you
and my aim is not to lead the prayer but to show you the way in which the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray.' " I
asked Abu Qilaba, "How did he use to pray?' " He replied, "(The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray) like this
Sheikh of ours and the Sheikh used to sit for a while after the prostration, before getting up after the
first rak`a. "
That he asked `Aisha "What did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to do in his house?" She replied, "He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was the time for prayer he would go for it."
"The Prophet (ﷺ) became sick and when his disease became aggravated, he said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the prayer." `Aisha said, "He is a softhearted man and would not be able to lead the prayer in your place." The Prophet (ﷺ) said again, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." She repeated the same reply but he said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. You are the companions of Joseph." So the messenger went to Abu Bakr (with that order) and he led the people in prayer in the lifetime of the Prophet.
