حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ مَوْلَی النَّصْرِيِّينَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّمَا مُحَمَّدٌ بَشَرٌ يَغْضَبُ کَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ وَإِنِّي قَدْ اتَّخَذْتُ عِنْدَکَ عَهْدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفَنِيهِ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ آذَيْتُهُ أَوْ سَبَبْتُهُ أَوْ جَلَدْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ کَفَّارَةً وَقُرْبَةً تُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا إِلَيْکَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6622
Salim, the freed slave of Nasriyyin, said: I heard Abu Huraira as saying that he heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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.
