[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when the delegation of Banu Qays came to him. Some of them spoke in an eloquent manner. The Prophet ﷺ turned to Abu Bakr and said, "O Abu Bakr, did you hear what they said?" He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I heard and understood it." He said, "Then respond to them." Abu Bakr responded with an excellent answer, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr, Allah has granted you the greatest contentment." Some people asked, "And what is the greatest contentment, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Allah will manifest Himself to His servants in the Hereafter in general, and He will manifest Himself to Abu Bakr in particular.""  

الحاكم:٤٤٦٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَئِيسُ الْخَيَّاطِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحُبُلِيُّ ثنا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْكِلَابِيُّ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ فَتَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ بِكَلَامٍ لَغَا فِي الْكَلَامِ فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالُوا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَفَهِمْتُهُ قَالَ «فَأَجِبْهُمْ» قَالَ فَأَجَابَهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِجَوَابٍ وَأَجَادَ الْجَوَّابَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ الرِّضْوَانَ الْأَكْبَرَ» فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ وَمَا الرِّضْوَانُ الْأَكْبَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «يَتَجَلَّى اللَّهُ لِعِبَادِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَامَّةً وَيَتَجَلَّى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ خَاصَّةً»
