'Aishah said: Oh my head! The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: If that were to happen while I was alive, I would ask forgiveness and pray for you. 'Aishah said: Oh my loss! By Allah, I think that you would love my death. If that were to happen, you would spend the rest of your day with one of your wives. The Prophet (PBUH) said: Rather, it is I who say, Oh my head! I have thought, or I have wanted, to send for Abu Bakr and his son and appoint [Abu Bakr as a successor] so that people would not say or wish what they desire. Then I thought: Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise.
