Musnad Ahmad 61 — Musnad of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فِي عَمَلِهِ ، فَغَضِبَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ عَلَيْهِ جِدًّا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ : يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ ؟ فَلَمَّا ذَكَرْتُ الْقَتْلَ صَرَفَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثِ أَجْمَعَ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّحْوِ ، فَلَمَّا تَفَرَّقْنَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا بَرْزَةَ ، مَا قُلْتَ ؟ قَالَ : وَنَسِيتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُ ، قُلْتُ : ذَكِّرْنِيهِ ، قَالَ : أَمَا تَذْكُرُ مَا قُلْتَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا وَاللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ حِينَ رَأَيْتَنِي غَضِبْتُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ ، فَقُلْتَ : " أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ؟ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ ذَاكَ ؟ أَوَكُنْتَ فَاعِلًا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ وَاللَّهِ ، وَالْآنَ إِنْ أَمَرْتَنِي فَعَلْتُ ، قَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ، أَوْ : وَيْلَكَ ، إِنَّ تِلْكَ وَاللَّهِ مَا هِيَ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were engaged in some work with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). During this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry with a Muslim for some reason, and his anger increased greatly. When I saw the situation, I said, "O Successor of the Messenger of Allah! Should I not strike his neck?" When I mentioned killing, he changed the subject and topic of conversation altogether. When we dispersed after finishing there, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me through a messenger and said, "Abu Barzah! What were you saying?" I replied, "By Allah, I do not remember." He said, "Recall, when you saw me angry with a person, you said, 'O Successor of the Messenger of Allah! Should I not strike his neck?' Do you remember? Would you really have done so?" I swore and replied, "Yes! If you even now command me, I will carry it out." He said, "Alas! By Allah! After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this is not for anyone."
