... wal- Nihayah. Vol. 5, 253.
This narration doesn’t imply that the Prophet commanded Abu Bakr to lead the prayers, since despite his illness, he still went outside to lead the prayers.
Even if the Prophet did appoint him, it doesn’t imply that he had appointed him to succeed the Prophet in all aspects of life, since during the Proohet’s lifetime, he has appointed many to lead the prayer (such as ibn um maktum who was blind- shaikh al- Islam ibn taymiyyah...
