حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْمُحَرَّرِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ وَمَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَقَعَ رَجُلٌ بِأَبِي بَکْرٍ فَآذَاهُ فَصَمَتَ عَنْهُ أَبُو بَکْرٍ ثُمَّ آذَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَصَمَتَ عَنْهُ أَبُو بَکْرٍ ثُمَّ آذَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُ أَبُو بَکْرٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حِينَ انْتَصَرَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ أَوَجَدْتَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ مَلَکٌ مِنْ السَّمَائِ يُکَذِّبُهُ بِمَا قَالَ لَکَ فَلَمَّا انْتَصَرْتَ وَقَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَمْ أَکُنْ لِأَجْلِسَ إِذْ وَقَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4896
Narrated Saeed ibn al-Musayyab: While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting with some of his companions, a man reviled Abu Bakr and insulted him. But Abu Bakr remained silent. He insulted him twice, but Abu Bakr controlled himself. He insulted him thrice and Abu Bakr took revenge on him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up when Abu Bakr took revenge. Abu Bakr said: Were you angry with me, Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: An angel came down from Heaven and he was rejecting what he had said to you. When you took revenge, a devil came down. I was not going to sit when the devil came down.
