Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا شَتَمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْجَبُ وَيَتَبَسَّمُ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ قَوْلِهِ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَامَ فَلَحِقَهُ أَبُ
و بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَشْتُمُنِي وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ فَلَمَّا رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ قَوْلِهِ غَضِبْتَ وَقُمْتَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَكَ مَلَكٌ يَرُدُّ عَنْكَ فَلَمَّا رَدَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ قَوْلِهِ وَقَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَقْعُدَ مَعَ الشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ثَلَاثٌ كُلُّهُنَّ حَقٌّ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ ظُلِمَ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فَيُغْضِي عَنْهَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ بِهَا نَصْرَهُ وَمَا فَتَحَ رَجُلٌ بَابَ عَطِيَّةٍ يُرِيدُ بِهَا صِلَةً إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا كَثْرَةً وَمَا فَتَحَ رَجُلٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ يُرِيدُ بِهَا كَثْرَةً إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا قِلَّةً
Isnad Chain
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us from Ibn 'Ajlan, who said: Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id narrated to us from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that a man insulted Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) while the Prophet ﷺ was sitting. the Prophet ﷺ was amazed and smiling. When the man persisted, Abu Bakr responded to some of what he said, so the Prophet ﷺ became angry and got up. Abu Bakr followed him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he was insulting me while you were sitting, but when I responded to some of what he said, you became angry and got up.' He ﷺ said: 'There was an angel with you responding on your behalf, but when you responded to some of what he said, Shaytan came, and I would not sit with Shaytan.' Then he said: 'O Abu Bakr, three things are all true: No servant is wronged with an injustice and overlooks it for the sake of Allah (عز وجل) except that Allah will strengthen his support because of it. No man opens a door of giving intending to maintain family ties except that Allah will increase him in abundance because of it. And no man opens a door of begging intending to increase his wealth except that Allah (عز وجل) will increase him in poverty because of it.'
