A man was insulting Abu Bakr while the Prophet ﷺ was sitting nearby. The Prophet ﷺ kept showing astonishment and smiling. When the man went too far, Abu Bakr responded to some of what he had said, at which point the Prophet ﷺ became angry and stood up.Abu Bakr caught up with him and said, "Messenger of Allah, he was insulting me while you were sitting there, but when I answered back to some of what he said, you became angry and got up."The Prophet ﷺ replied, "There was an angel with you answering him on your behalf. But when you responded to some of what he said, Satan stepped in, and I was not going to remain seated in the presence of Satan."Then he said, "Abu Bakr, three things are all true. No servant suffers a wrong and overlooks it for the sake of Allah except that Allah strengthens his honor through it. No man opens the door of giving, intending thereby to maintain ties of kinship, except that Allah increases him in abundance through it. And no man opens the door of begging, seeking thereby to gain abundance, except that Allah
increases him in scarcity through it."
حدثنا يحيى عن ابن عجلان قال حدثنا سعيد بن أبي سعيد
أن رجلا شتم أبا بكر والنبي ﷺ جالس فجعل النبي ﷺ يعجب ويتبسم فلما أكثر رد عليه بعض قوله فغضب النبي ﷺ وقام فلحقه أبو بكر فقال يا رسول الله كان يشتمني وأنت جالس فلما رددت عليه بعض قوله غضبت وقمت قال إنه كان معك ملك يرد عنك فلما رددت عليه بعض قوله وقع الشيطان فلم أكن لأقعد مع الشيطان ثم قال يا أبا بكر ثلاث كلهن حق ما من عبد ظلم بمظلمة فيغضي عنها لله عز وجل إلا أعز الله بها نصره وما فتح رجل باب عطية يريد بها صلة إلا زاده الله بها كثرة وما فتح رجل باب مسألة يريد بها كثرة إلا زاده الله عز وجل بها قلة
