The next day, Monday 12ᵗʰ of Rabi 1, the Prophet's fever eased, and
although he was extremely weak he summoned all his energy and was
assisted to the Mosque by Thawban and Fadl.
The dawn prayer had already begun and when the congregation realized
he was amongst them they were overjoyed. As he saw them at prayer his
face shone with great happiness that prompted Anas to comment later on:
"I have never seen the Prophet's face more beautiful than it was at that
hour."

Abu Bakr, who was leading the prayer, sensed his presence and so without
turning his head, stepped back for the Prophet, praise and veneration be
upon him, to continue its leadership. However, the Prophet, praise and
veneration be upon him, placed his hand on his shoulder and nudged him
to resume whilst he seated himself by his side and offered his prayer with
him.
