وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ. / 2 - وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْهَرَوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ تَدْرُسَ مَوْلَى حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، قَالَتْ:
إِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَهَا: مَا أَشَدُّ مَا رَأَيْتِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بَلَغُوا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قُعُودًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَتَذَاكَرُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا يَقُولُ فِي آلِهَتِهِمْ، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَامُوا إِلَيْهِ بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ، فَأَتَى الصَّرِيخُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَقَالُوا: أَدْرِكْ صَاحِبَكَ، فَخَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا وَإِنَّ لَهُ لَغَدَائِرَ أَرْبَعًا، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَيْلَكُمْ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلًا أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللهُ وَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ، قَالَ: فَلَهَوْا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، قَالَتْ: فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَمَسُّ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَدَائِرِهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ مَعَهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

✧ They said to her, “What was the worst thing you saw the polytheists do to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” She said, “The polytheists were sitting in the mosque, talking about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and what he said about their gods. While they were doing that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, so they all stood up to him. The news reached Abu Bakr ؓ, and they said, ‘Help your companion.’ He came out from us, and he had four braids, saying, ‘Woe to you! Would you kill a man for saying: My Lord is Allah, when he has come to you with clear proofs from your Lord?’” She said, “They left the Messenger of Allah ﷺ alone and turned to Abu Bakr ؓ.” She said, “Abu Bakr ؓ returned to us, and he did not touch any of his braids without some of it coming out with it, and he was saying, ‘Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.’”
