[Machine] That Abu Sufyan passed by Salman, Suhaib, and Bilal, and they said, "Why did Allah's swords take from the neck of this [person] what they took?" Abu Bakr said, "You say this about the elder of Quraysh and its leader." Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what they had said. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Bakr, perhaps you angered them, and by the One in whose hand is my soul, if you anger them, surely you have angered your Lord." So he returned to them and said, "O my brothers, perhaps I have angered you?" They said, "No, O Abu Bakr, may Allah forgive you."
أَنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ مَرَّ بِسَلْمَانَ وَصُهَيْبٍ وَبِلَالٍ فَقَالُوا مَا أَخَذَتْ سُيُوفُ اللهِ مِنْ عُنُقِ هَذَا مَا أَخَذَهَا بَعْدُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ تَقُولُونَ هَذَا لِشَيْخِ قُرَيْشٍ وَسَيِّدِهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي قَالُوا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَعَلَّكَ أَغْضَبْتَهُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَغْضَبْتَهُمْ لَقَدْ أَغْضَبْتَ رَبِّكَ» فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ أَيْ إِخْوَتِي لِعَلِّي أَغْضَبْتُكُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكَ
