Musnad Abi Ya'la 79 — Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq was busy with some
حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُبَيْدٍ - عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي عَمَلِهِ فَغَضِبَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ عَلَيْهِ جِدًّا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ : يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ ؟ فَلَمَّا ذَكَرْتُ الْقَتْلَ أَضْرَبَ عَنْ ذَاكَ الْحَدِيثِ أَجْمَعَ ، إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّحْوِ ، فَلَمَّا تَفَرَّقْنَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا بَرْزَةَ ، مَا قُلْتَ ؟ قَالَ : وَنَسِيتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَمَا قُلْتُ ؟ ذَكِّرْنِيهِ ، قَالَ : وَمَا تَذْكُرُ مَا قُلْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا وَاللهِ ، قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ حِينَ رَأَيْتَنِي غَضِبْتُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقُلْتَ : أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، أَمَا تَذْكُرُ ذَاكَ ؟ أَوَكُنْتَ فَاعِلًا ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ وَاللهِ ، وَالْآنَ إِنْ أَمَرْتَنِي فَعَلْتُ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ - أَوْ : وَيْلَكَ - وَاللهِ مَا هِيَ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was busy with some official work when he became extremely angry with a man from among the Muslims. When I saw the intensity of his anger, I said: "O successor (Khalifah) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Shall I strike off his neck?" When I mentioned killing, he turned away from that matter completely and, leaving such talk aside, turned to other conversation. Then, when we dispersed, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me and asked: "O Abu Barzah! What did you say?" He said: I had forgotten what I had said, so I said: "What did I say? Please remind me." He said: "Do you not remember what you said?" I said: "By Allah, no." He said: "Recall the time when you saw me angry with that man and you said: O successor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Shall I strike off his neck? Would you really have done that?" I said: "Yes, by Allah! And if you command me even now, I will do it." At that he said: "Woe to you! By Allah! After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) this (authority and position) does not belong to anyone else."
