أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، قَالَ تَغَيَّظَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هُوَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِمَ قُلْتُ لأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ إِنْ أَمَرْتَنِي بِذَلِكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَفَكُنْتَ فَاعِلاً قُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لأَذْهَبَ عِظَمُ كَلِمَتِي الَّتِي قُلْتُ غَضَبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ

مَا كَانَ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

It was narrated that Abu Barzah said:

"Abu Bakr got infuriated with a man, and I said: 'Who is he, O Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Why?' I said: 'So that I might strike his neck (killing him) if you tell me to.' He said: 'Would you really do that?' I said: 'Yes. By Allah,' the seriousness of what I said took away his anger. Then he said: 'That is not for anyone after Muhammad [SAW].'"

قَوْله ( تَغَيَّظَ ) قِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ سَبَّ أَبَا بَكْر ( قَالَ فَوَاَللَّهِ لَأَذْهَبَ إِلَخْ ) هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ أَيْ أَنَّ كَلَامِي قَدْ عَظُمَ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَتَّى زَالَ بِسَبَبِ عِظَمِهِ غَضَبُهُ ( ثُمَّ قَالَ ) أَيْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْد أَنْ ذَهَبَ غَضَبُهُ بِمَا قُلْت.…
