حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْكُوفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَشَدِّ مَا صَنَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي , فَوَضَعَ رِدَاءَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ فَخَنَقَهُ بِهِ خَنْقًا شَدِيدًا , فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى دَفَعَهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَنْ يَقُولَ : رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ " .
Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair: I asked `Abdullah bin `Amr, "What was the worst thing the pagans did to Allah's Apostle?" He said, "I saw `Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait coming to the Prophet while he was praying.' `Uqba put his sheet round the Prophet's neck and squeezed it very severely. Abu Bakr came and pulled `Uqba away from the Prophet and said, "Do you intend to kill a man just because he says: 'My Lord is Allah, and he has brought forth to you the Evident Signs from your Lord?"

Hadith Commentary:
➊
‘Uqbah bin Abi Mu‘ayt was killed in the Battle of Badr.
➋
This hadith also establishes the great virtue of Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), because he aided the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with both his tongue and his hand at an extremely difficult time, when the disbelievers had overwhelming dominance.
Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) passed away at the age of sixty-three years.
The duration of his caliphate was two years, three months, and a few days.
He performed a ritual bath (ghusl) during the cold days, which caused him to fall ill.
He had a fever for fifteen days and then departed to meet Allah.
He passed away on the 22nd of Jumada al-Akhirah, 1 Hijri, corresponding to 23rd August 634 CE.
Radi Allahu ta‘ala anhu.

Hadith Commentary:
1.
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah did not establish any chapter heading; after providing the literal explanation of a few difficult words, he simply narrated this hadith.
It should be known that in this blessed surah, a believing man is mentioned, and this surah is named after that believing man.
He had not revealed his faith in the court of Pharaoh, and he himself belonged to that family, but when Pharaoh said to his courtiers, "Allow me to kill Musa alayhis salam," this believing man said:
"Do you kill him merely because he says:
'My Lord is Allah,' even though he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord?"
2.
By reflecting on this incident in the Noble Qur'an, the relevance of the hadith also becomes clear, as this incident bears complete resemblance to the incident in Surah al-Mu’min.
And Allah knows best.
3.
It should be clear that Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu is superior to the believing man from the family of Pharaoh, because the latter concealed his faith, whereas Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu openly declared his faith. Furthermore, the believing man from the family of Imran sufficed with words alone, while Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu made his hand subservient to his tongue and aided the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with both word and deed.
