لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى النَّصْرِيِّينَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّمَا مُحَمَّدٌ بَشَرٌ يَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ ، وَإِنِّي قَدِ اتَّخَذْتُ عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفَنِيهِ ، فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ آذَيْتُهُ ، أَوْ سَبَبْتُهُ ، أَوْ جَلَدْتُهُ ، فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ كَفَّارَةً وَقُرْبَةً تُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Salim, the freed slave of Nasriyyin, said: I heard Abu Hurairah (RA) as saying that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: O Allah, Muhammad is a human being. I lose my temper just as human beings lose temper, and I have held a covenant with Thee which Thou wouldst not break: For a believer whom I give any trouble or invoke curse or beat, make that an expiation (of his sins and a source of) his nearness to Thee on the Day of Resurrection.
