حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَوْلَى ابْنِ سَبَّاعٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ( مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجِدْ لَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلاَ نَصِيرًا ) فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلاَ أُقْرِئُكَ آيَةً أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَىَّ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَقْرَأَنِيهَا فَلاَ أَعْلَمُ إِلاَّ أَنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ وَجَدْتُ انْقِصَامًا فِي ظَهْرِي فَتَمَطَّأْتُ لَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي وَأَيُّنَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا وَإِنَّا لَمَجْزِيُّونَ بِمَا عَمِلْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَتُجْزَوْنَ بِذَلِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبٌ وَأَمَّا الآخَرُونَ فَيُجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى يُجْزَوْا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

"I was with the Prophet ﷺ when this Ayah was revealed to him: Whoever works evil will have the recompense of it (4:123). So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Abu Bakr! Shall I recite to you an Ayah revealed to me?' I said: 'Of course O Messenger of Allah!' So he recited it to me, and I do not know except that I found it as a fatal blow, but I repressed it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What is bothering you O Abu Bakr?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! May my father and my mother be your ransom! Which of us has not done evil - and yet we shall be recompensed for what we have done?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'As for you O Abu Bakr, and the believers, they will be recompensed for that in the world until they meet Allah and they have no sins. As for the others, then that will be collected for them until they are recompensed for it on the Day of Judgement.'"
Notes
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَقَالٌ مُوسَى بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ضَعَّفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَمَوْلَى ابْنِ سَبَّاعٍ مَجْهُولٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ أَيْضًا وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: This is a gharīb hadith, and there is some criticism (maqāl) of its chain of transmission. Mūsā b. ʿUbaydah is graded weak (yuḍaʿʿaf) in hadith; Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd and Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal declared him weak. The freed slave (mawlā) of Ibn Sabbāʿ is unknown (majhūl). This hadith has also been narrated through another route from Abū Bakr, and that too has no sound (ṣaḥīḥ) chain. And on this topic there is a report from ʿĀʾishah.

in جامع الترمذي, p. 3326 - Bazzār
وهذا الحديث لا نعلم أن أحدا رواه بهذا اللفظ إلا أبو بكر ولا نعلم له إسنادا عن أبي بكر إلا هذا الإسناد ومولى ابن سباع مجهول ولا نعلم روى عنه إلا موسى بن عبيدة وموسى لم يكن به بأس ولكن لم يكن حافظا للحديث وقد روى عنه أهل العلم
machine translationWe do not know of anyone who narrated this hadith with this wording except Abū Bakr, and we do not know of any chain for it from Abū Bakr other than this chain. The freed slave (mawlā) of Ibn Sibāʿ is unknown (majhūl), and we do not know that anyone narrated from him except Mūsā b. ʿUbaydah. As for Mūsā, there was no harm in him, but he was not a retainer of hadith (ḥāfiẓ), though the people of knowledge have narrated from him.
