Amr bin Abu Qura Kindi narrates that my father offered Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) to marry his sister, but he refused and married his freed slave woman, Baqrah. Then Abu Qura found out that there was some displeasure between Sayyiduna Salman and Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with them both). He went to them and found out that they had gone to a vegetable field. He went there and met them, and saw that they had a basket with vegetables in it. They had put a stick through the handle of the basket and placed it on their shoulder. Abu Qura said: O Abu Abdullah! What grievance is there between you and Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him)? Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: «﴿وَکَانَالإِنْسَانُعَجُولاً﴾»[الإسراء: 11] "Man is ever hasty." Then both of them left and came to the house of Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the house and greeted (with salam), then gave permission to Abu Qura, so he also entered. He saw that there was a sheet placed at the door, and near its head were some raw bricks, and nearby there was a thick mattress like a saddle. He (Sayyiduna Salman) said (to me): Sit on the bed of my slave woman which she spreads for herself. Then they started talking and explained that Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate to people those things which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say in anger about someone. People would come to me and ask about it, so I would say: Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) knows more about what he narrates. And I did not like (that because of such things which are not to be mentioned) malice should arise among people. Someone went to Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) neither confirms nor denies your statements. So Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and said: O Salman son of Umm Salman! (Did you say such a thing?), so I said: O Hudhaifah son of Umm Hudhaifah! Refrain from narrating such things, otherwise I will write to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about you. When I frightened him by mentioning Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he left me and went away. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: "(O Allah!) I am also from the children of Adam, so if I have cursed or spoken harshly to any individual of my ummah while he was not deserving of it, then make it a mercy for him."
