Sahih al-Bukhari 4845

Hadith text

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:The two righteous persons were about to be ruined. They were Abu Bakr and `Umar who raised their voices in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) when a mission from Bani Tamim came to him. One of the two recommended Al-Aqra' bin Habis, the brother of Bani Mujashi (to be their governor) while the other recommended somebody else. (Nafi`, the sub-narrator said, I do not remember his name). Abu Bakr said to `Umar, "You wanted nothing but to oppose me!" `Umar said, "I did not intend to oppose you." Their voices grew loud in that argument, so Allah revealed: 'O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet.' (49.2) Ibn Az-Zubair said, "Since the revelation of this Verse, `Umar used to speak in such a low tone that the Prophet (ﷺ) had to ask him to repeat his statements." But Ibn Az-Zubair did not mention the same about his (maternal) grandfather (i.e. Abu Bakr)

Ibn Abu Mulaika bataate hain: Do neik log tabaah hote hote bache - Abu Bakr aur Umar, jinhone Nabi (SAW) ki maujoodgi mein apni aawaazein buland ki jab Banu Tamim ka ek wafd unke paas aaya. Unmein se ek ne Al-Aqra' bin Habis, Banu Mujashi ke bhai, ki (governor ke taur par) sifaarish ki, jabke doosre ne kisi aur ki sifaarish ki. (Ravi Nafi kehte hain: Mujhe uska naam yaad nahi.) Abu Bakr ne Umar se kaha, 'Tum sirf mera muqaabla karna chahte the!' Umar ne kaha, 'Mera iraada tumhaara muqaabla karne ka nahi tha.' Unki behas mein aawaazein buland ho gayin, isper Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'Aye Iman waalo! Apni aawaazein Nabi ki aawaaz se buland mat karo.' (49:2) Ibn Az-Zubair kehte hain, 'Is Aayat ke naazil hone ke baad, Umar itni dhimi aawaaz mein baat karte the ke Nabi (SAW) ko unse apni baat dohraane ko kehna padta.' Magar Ibn Az-Zubair ne apne (naani ke taraf se) daada, yaani Abu Bakr, ke baare mein aisi koi baat zikr nahi ki.
