[6412] 170 - (2504) It was narrated from 'Â'idh bin 'Amr that Abû Sufyân came to Salmân, Suhaib and Bilâl among a group of people, and they said: "By Allâh, the swords of Allâh did not reach the neck of an enemy of Allâh they were supposed to reach." Abû Bakr said: "Do you say this to an elder and chief of Quraish?" He went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him, and he said: "O Abû Bakr, perhaps you annoyed them, and if you have annoyed them you have annoyed your Lord." Abû Bakr went to them and said: "O my brothers, have I annoyed you?" They said: "No, may Allâh forgive you, O my brother."
