عَنْ أَبِي سَوَّارٍ الْقَاضِي يَقُولُ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ: أَغْلَظَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ: أَلَا أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ؟ قَالَ: فَانْتَهَرَهُ وَقَالَ: مَا هِيَ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man spoke to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in a very harsh tone. Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not strike his neck?" But Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) rebuked him and said: "After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this is not permissible for anyone."
