Does not the situation show that the people stopped their previous pray, and started a new pray behind the holy Prophet? Similarly we ask: a. How was the condition of the holy Prophet when he ordered Abu Bakr to pray instead of him? b. In other traditions, Aysha and all the narrators have said that when the Messenger was taken to the mosque he was unable to stand on his feet and his holy feet were been dragged due to weakness and severe pain. c. How much heavy and acute has been his illness? d.
If we accept this stage of inability, pain, and difficulty, as the lightness of his condition, then certainly the acute and hard condition had been like coma or unconsciousness. e.
In that condition how it has been possible that the holy Prophet in the state of coma, (after hearing the voice of Bilal to lead the Prayer) call Aysha and say: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in Prayer?" When the holy Prophet was in the special room of Aysha, resting on the bed in a state of coma, who said to Bilal that the holy Prophet had said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in Prayer?" The true Imamate in the two Schools [The School of Ahle-Bayt (Shia) and the School of the Caliphate (Sunnite)] The answers to these questions can be found from the tradition of Ibne Abil Hadid, from his Shaikh (teacher).
Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)stated that: Aysha ordered Bilal to inform Abu Bakr to lead the people in Prayer. The holy Prophet said: "You are like those women around Joseph." The Prophet said those sentences in order to reject that programme. He got angry on them because, both Aysha and Hafsa wished their fathers be appointed.
The holy Prophet came out and put aside Abu Bakr from the Mehrab (Prayer niche).Then the holy Prophet cursed Aysha in seclusion and complained to Allah about the injustice of Aysha. Ibn Abil Hadid says that he asked his Shaikh (teacher), "Do you say that Aysha appointed her father to pray and the Prophet did not appoint him?" He replied: "I do not say that. It is Hazrat Ali who had said this, and my duty is other than him. Ali was present there and I was not.
So I have no choice but to submit to these traditions and quotations, which have reached me."1 Hazrat Ali (p.b.u.h.) was present on that scene, and he himself knew what had happened and what was happening. The historical facts and traditions in the school of Ahle Bayt (Shia) match with what has been narrated by Amirul Mo-mineen Ali (p.b.u.h.).
