أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ قَالَ مَرَرْتُ عَلَی أَبِي بَکْرٍ وَهُوَ مُتَغَيِّظٌ عَلَی رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي تَغَيَّظُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَلِمَ تَسْأَلُ قُلْتُ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَذْهَبَ عِظَمُ کَلِمَتِي غَضَبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا کَانَتْ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4088
It was narrated that Abu Barzah said: “I passed by Abu Bakr and he was furious with one of his companions. I said: ‘KhalIfah of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, who is the one with whom you are furious?’ He said: ‘Why are you asking about him?’ I said: ‘I will strike his neck (kill him).’ By Allah, the seriousness of what I said took away his anger. Then he said: ‘That is not for anyone after Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم. (Hasan)
