Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that a man abused Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was also present. He (the Prophet) was amazed and was smiling. When the man became more insolent, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied to one of his remarks. At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry and stood up. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) got up and went to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah! He was abusing me while you were present, but when I replied to one of his remarks, you became angry and stood up?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, there was an angel with you who was replying to him, but when you replied to him, Satan appeared, so I am not one to sit with Satan." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Abu Bakr! These things are true, so learn them: Whoever is wronged and overlooks it, Allah grants him strength and help in return. And whoever opens the door of giving as an act of truthfulness and maintaining family ties, Allah gives him more in return. And whoever opens the door of asking out of greed for abundance, Allah, because of that, increases his scarcity."
