Bismillah and salam,

I urgently need this. Please help if you remember the incident where our beloved prophet saws was sitting with Abu BAkr and someone said something bad to them and they never replied and the prophet smiled. Then when the person repeat the insult the third time Abu Bakr ra answered him but the prophet saws was angry he said something like there was an angel defending them up until Abu Bakr decided to defend himself because it was not anger about Allah/religion?

Not sure if this is the story you are talking about, but sounds like it.

Abu Bakr RA and Rasullalah [saw] were in consultation together when a man entered and began to criticize Abu Bakr and accuse him of things he did not do. Abu Bakr sat very patiently for awhile until the man said something which he could no longer tolerate and Abu Bakr began to defend himself. Up to then, the Prophet[saw] had been sitting and smiling listening to the goings-on. When Abu Bakr RA began to defend himself, the Prophet[saw] frowned and left. Abu Bakr then went to him[saw] and asked Rasulallah[saw] why he had been smiling to the man's comments and why he had then got up and left when Abu Bakr began to defend himself.

And Rasulallah[saw] said (unsure of the exact authentic wording mind you), "O Abu Bakr, when you were silent I saw the angels defending you, and when you began to defend yourself they left and Shaytaan entered the room, and a Prophet and Shaytaan cannot sit in the same room."

([i]the above is simply my own flawed recollection of the story, and not directly from the exact source in the Seerah literature.[/i])

Abu Dawud Book 1 Hadith # 4878

Narrated Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab:

"While the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was sitting with some of his companions, a man reviled AbuBakr and insulted him. But AbuBakr remained silent. He insulted him twice, but AbuBakr controlled himself. He insulted him thrice and AbuBakr took revenge on him. Then the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) got up when AbuBakr took revenge.

AbuBakr said: Were you angry with me, Apostle of Allah?

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) replied: An angel came down from Heaven and he was rejecting what he had said to you. When you took revenge, a devil came down. I was not going to sit when the devil came down."

Perhaps someone can comment on the authenticity of this narration because i notice that the narration is via a taabiee.
