حَدَّثَنَا مُهَنَّأُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ أَبُو شِبْلٍ ، وَحَسَنٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَائِذِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ وَصُهَيْبًا وبِلَالًا كَانُوا قُعُودًا فِي أُنَاسٍ ، فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، فَقَالُوا : مَا أَخَذَتْ سُيُوفُ اللَّهِ مِنْ عُنُقِ عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ مَأْخَذَهَا بَعْدُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَتَقُولُونَ هَذَا لِشَيْخِ قُرَيْشٍ وَسَيِّدِهَا ؟ ! قَالَ : فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، لَعَلَّكَ أَغْضَبْتَهُمْ ؟ فَلَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَغْضَبْتَهُمْ لَقَدْ أَغْضَبْتَ رَبَّكَ " ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ : أَيْ إِخْوَتَنَا ، لَعَلَّكُمْ غَضِبْتُمْ ؟ فَقَالُوا : لَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكَ . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aiz bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Salman, Suhaib, and Bilal were sitting with some people when Abu Sufyan bin Harb passed by. These companions said, "By Allah, the swords of Allah have not yet properly struck the necks of Allah's enemies." Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this and said, "Are you saying this to the elder and chief of the Quraysh?" When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this incident, he said, "O Abu Bakr, perhaps you have angered these people? For if you have angered them, then Allah will be angry with you." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Abu Bakr went to those people and said, "Brothers, perhaps you are angry with me?" They replied, "No, O Abu Bakr! May Allah forgive you."
