Hadith 4897

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَسُبُّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَسَاقَ نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ , كَمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators. This version has: A man was reviling Abu Bakr. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition in a similar manner. Abu Dawud said: Similarly, it has been transmitted by Safwan bin ‘Isa, from Ibn Affan, as Sufyan said.

Benefits and Issues:
If a Muslim brother happens to become bitter at any time, then as much as possible, one should endure it with patience and forbearance.
Angels of Allah are appointed to respond to wrongful words.
When a person takes revenge on his own accord, then the help and support of Allah Ta'ala ceases.
