I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when this verse was revealed to him, "Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it, and he will not find for himself besides Allah any protector or helper" [Nisa 4:123].The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abu Bakr, shall I recite to you a verse that has been revealed to me?"I said, "Of course, Messenger of Allah."So he recited it to me, and I do not recall anything except that I felt as though my back were breaking, and I stretched myself because of it.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is the matter with you, Abu Bakr?"I said, "Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you, which of us has not done evil? Are we truly to be recompensed for what we have done?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for you, Abu Bakr, and the believers, you will be recompensed for that in this world, so that you meet Allah with no sins remaining. As for the others, it will be saved up for them until they are recompensed for it on the Day of Resurrection."
حدثنا يحيى بن موسى وعبد بن حميد قالا حدثنا روح بن عبادة عن موسى بن عبيدة أخبرني مولى ابن سباع قال سمعت عبد الله بن عمر يحدث
كنت عند رسول الله ﷺ فأنزلت عليه هذه الآية {من يعمل سوءا يجز به ولا يجد له من دون الله وليا ولا نصيرا} فقال رسول الله ﷺ يا أبا بكر ألا أقرئك آية أنزلت علي قلت بلى يا رسول الله قال فأقرأنيها فلا أعلم إلا أني قد كنت وجدت انقصاما في ظهري فتمطأت لها فقال رسول الله ﷺ ما شأنك يا أبا بكر قلت يا رسول الله بأبي أنت وأمي وأينا لم يعمل سوءا وإنا لمجزون بما عملنا فقال رسول الله ﷺ أما أنت يا أبا بكر والمؤمنون فتجزون بذلك في الدنيا حتى تلقوا الله وليس لكم ذنوب وأما الآخرون فيجمع ذلك لهم حتى يجزوا به يوم القيامة
[Its chain of transmission is daif] Baghawi narrated it in Sharh al-Sunnah 5/249, 250, no. 1439, from the hadith of Rawh bin Ubada, through the same route. Musa bin Ubayda is daif, and the freedman of Ibn Sibaa is unknown (Taqrib, 8521). The preceding hadith (3038) makes this one unnecessary.There is also a report on this subject from Ayesha [Ahmad, 6/65, 66, and Ibn Hibban, no. 1736, and Hakim, 2/308].
