Volume 6, Book 60, Number 164:
Narrated Abu Ad-Darda:
There was a dispute between Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and Abu Bakr made Umar angry. So ‘Umar left
angrily. Abu Bakr followed him, requesting him to ask forgiveness (of Allah) for him, but ‘Umar re –
fused to do so and closed his door in Abu Bakr’s face. So Abu Bakr went to Allah’s Apostle while we
were with him. Allah’s Apostle said, “This friend of yours must have quarrelled (with somebody).” In
the meantime ‘Umar repented and felt sorry for what he had done, so he came, greeted (those who
were present) and sat with the Prophet and related the story to him. Allah’s Apostle became angry
and Abu Bakr started saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah, I was more at fault (than Umar).” Allah’s
Apostle said, “Are you (people) leaving for me my companion? (Abu Bakr), Are you (people) leaving
for me my companion? When I said, ‘O people I am sent to you all as the Apostle of Allah,’ you said,
‘You tell a lie.’ while Abu Bakr said, ‘You have spoken the truth .”
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 13:
Narrated Abu Ad-Darda:
While I was sitting with the Prophet, Abu Bakr came, lifting up one corner of h is garment uncov –
ering h is knee. The Prophet said, “Your companion has had a quarrel.” Abu Bakr greeted (the Proph –
et ) and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! There was something (i.e. quarrel) between me and the Son of Al-
Khattab. I talked to him harshly and then regretted that, and requested him to forgive me, but he re –
fused. This is why I have come to you.” The Prophet said thrice, “O Abu Bakr! May Allah forgive you.”
In the meanwhile, ‘Umar regretted (his refusal of Abu Bakr’s excuse) and went to Abu Bakr’s house
and asked if Abu Bakr was there. They replied in the negative. So he came to the Prophet and greeted
him, but signs of displeasure appeared on the face of the Prophet till Abu Bakr pitied (‘Umar), so he
knelt and said twice, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah! I was more unjust to him (than he to me).” The
Prophet said, “Allah sent me (as a Prophet) to you (people) but you said (to me), ‘You are telling a lie,’
while Abu Bakr said, ‘He has said the truth,’ and consoled me with himself and his money.” He then
said twice, “Won’t you then give up harming my companion?” After that nobody harmed Abu Bakr.
Volume 3, Book 31, Number 166:
Narrated Abu Ad-Darda:
We set out with Allah’s Apostle on one of his journeys on a very hot day, and it was so hot that one
had to put his hand over his head because of the severity of heat. None of us was fasting except the
Prophet and Ibn Rawaha.
