وَعَن عَائِشَة قَالَتْ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يَلْعَنُ بَعْضَ رَقِيقِهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: «لَعَّانِينَ وَصِدِّيقِينَ؟ كَلَّا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ» فَأَعْتَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضَ رَقِيقِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: لَا أَعُودُ. رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الْخَمْسَةَ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
A'isha Narrated from:
(Once) the Prophet ﷺ came by (Sayyiduna) Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه while he was cursing one of his slaves. So, he turned to him and said, “Does one see people who curse and are truthful (too)?” No, by the Lord of the Ka’bah!” (the two things cannot be together!) Therefore, Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه set free some of his slaves that very day. Then, he came to the Prophet ﷺ and submitted. “I shall not do it again.” [2]
