Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18087 — I was with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيَّ فَرَسٌ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: احْمِلْنِي عَلَى هَذَا، فَقَالَ: لَأَنْ أَحْمِلَ غُلَامًا قَدْ رَكِبَ الْخَيْلَ عَلَى عُزْلَتِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْمِلَكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَغَضِبَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ: أَنَا وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ وَمِنْ أَبِيكَ فَارِسًا، فَغَضِبَتُ حِينَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِخَلِيفَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَسَحَبْتُهُ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ، فَكَأَنَّمَا كَانَ أَنْفُهُ عَزْلَاءَ مَزَادَةٍ، فَأَرَادَ الْأَنْصَارُ أَنْ يَسْتَقِيدُوا مِنِّي، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: «بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ نَاسًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي مُقِيدُهُمْ مِنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، وَلَأَنْ أُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ أَنْ أُقِيدَهُمْ مِنْ وَزَعَةِ اللهِ الَّذِينَ يَزَعُونَ عِبَادَهُ»
Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) when a horse was presented before me. A man said: Mount me on this (that is, give it to me). He said: I would prefer to mount on it a young man who has ridden horses on his own merit, rather than mount you on it. At this the man became angry and said: By Allah, I am a better horseman than you and than your father. When he said that to the successor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I became angry. I went up to him, seized him by the head and dragged him on his nose, so that his nose became like the spout of a water skin. The Ansar wanted to take retaliation from me for him. When this reached Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "I have learned that some people think I will let them take retaliation from al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah. Yet it would be far easier for me to expel them from their homes than to let them take retaliation from Allah's guardians who restrain His servants (from wrongdoing)."
