English Translation
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that "The last time I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he drew back the curtain when the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Abu Bakr wanted to step back, but he gestured to them to stay as they were, and let the curtain drop. He died at the end of that day, and that was a Monday
