Our prophet (pbuh)was sitting with Abu Bakr Assedik and they were discussing several matters. A man was passing by and obviously hated Abu Bakr (Radhya Allahou an'h). That man started insulting and cursing Abu Bakr. This one didn't reply to this man's wrath. When it got unbearable, Abu bakr replied. At the very moment he did, Rassul Allah stood up and left. Afterwards, Abu Bakr went to Muhammad (pbuh) and asked him why he left. He told him that he was patient enough and that it came to a point where he had to say his words. Our wise prophet (pbuh) replied "When you were silent, angels were defending you. The very moment you opened your mouth, angels left and Shaytan arrived and I never stay in a place where Shaytan is"
I can help you with that :)
Once, a person was verbally abusing Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) while the Prophet (peace be upon him) was curiously watching with a smile. After taking much abuse quietly, Abu Bakr responded to a few of his comments. At this, the Prophet exhibited his disapproval, got up and left. Abu Bakr caught up with the Prophet and wondered, 'O Messenger of Allaah, he was abusing me and you remained sitting. When I responded to him, you disapproved and got up.' The Messenger of Allaah responded,
'There was an angel with you responding to him. When you responded to him, Satan took his place.' He then said ..
'O Abu Bakr, there are three solid truths: If a person is wronged and he forbears it (without seeking revenge) just for the sake of Allaah almighty, Allaah will honour him and give him the upper hand with His help; if a person opens a door of giving gifts for cementing relationships with relatives, Allaah will give him abundance; and, if a person opens a door of seeking charity for himself to increase his wealth, Allaah will further reduce his wealth.'
Reported from Abu Huraira in Mishkaah and Musnad Ahmad.
