English translation
4640. Narrated Abū Ad-Dardā': There was a dispute between Abū Bakr and 'Umar, and Abū Bakr made 'Umar angry. So 'Umar left angrily. Abū Bakr followed him, requesting him to excuse him, but 'Umar refused to do so and closed his door in Abū Bakr's face. So, Abū Bakr went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while we were with him. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ 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 ﷺ and related the story to him. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ became angry and Abū Bakr started saying, "O Allāh's Messenger! By Allāh, I was more at fault (than 'Umar)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Are you (people) leaving for me my companion (Abū Bakr)? Are you (people) leaving for me my companion? When I said, 'O people I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allāh,' you said, 'You tell a lie.' While Abū Bakr said, 'You have spoken the truth.'"
