يَحْيَى ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا شَتَمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ ، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْجَبُ وَيَتَبَسَّمُ ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ قَوْلِهِ ، فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَامَ ، فَلَحِقَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَانَ يَشْتُمُنِي وَأَنْتَ جَالِسٌ ، فَلَمَّا رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ قَوْلِهِ ، غَضِبْتَ وَقُمْتَ ؟ ! ، قَالَ :
" إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَكَ مَلَكٌ يَرُدُّ عَنْكَ ، فَلَمَّا رَدَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ قَوْلِهِ وَقَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ ، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَقْعُدَ مَعَ الشَّيْطَانِ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ
ثَلَاثٌ كُلُّهُنَّ حَقٌّ : مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ ظُلِمَ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فَيُغْضِي عَنْهَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ بِهَا نَصْرَهُ ، وَمَا فَتَحَ رَجُلٌ بَابَ عَطِيَّةٍ يُرِيدُ بِهَا صِلَةً إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا كَثْرَةً ، وَمَا فَتَحَ رَجُلٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ يُرِيدُ بِهَا كَثْرَةً إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا قِلَّةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man abused Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) in the presence of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept expressing wonder and smiling at Hazrat Siddiq Akbar’s (may Allah be pleased with him) silence, but when that man went too far, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) also replied to one of his remarks. At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up in displeasure. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) followed and submitted, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as long as he kept abusing me, you remained seated, but when I replied to one of his remarks, you became angry and stood up?” The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There was an angel with you who was replying to him on your behalf, but when you replied to him, Satan came in between, so I could not remain seated in the presence of Satan.” Then he said, “O Abu Bakr! Three things are true: (1) Whoever is wronged and remains silent for the sake of Allah, Allah will surely grant him mighty help; (2) Whoever opens the door of generosity for the sake of maintaining ties of kinship, Allah increases his wealth accordingly; (3) And whoever opens the door of begging to increase his wealth, Allah increases his poverty.”
