Sunan an-Nasai 4075 (Book 37, Hadith 110) #18608
Taking Law Into One's Own Hands After The Prophet

SUMMARY: Abu Bakr was very angry with a man, but he was reminded that no one has the right to take the law into their own hands after the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

It was narrated from Abu Nadrah, that Abu Barzah said: "Abu Bakr got very angry with a man, so much so that his color changed. I said: 'O Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah, if you tell me to, I will strike his neck (kill him)'. It was as if cold water had been poured on him and he became calm. He said: 'May your mother be bereft of you, Abu Barzah! That is not for anyone after the Messenger of Allah SAW'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، قَالَ غَضِبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ قُلْتُ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَمَرْتَنِي لأَضْرِبَنَّ عُنُقَهُ فَكَأَنَّمَا صُبَّ عَلَيْهِ مَاءٌ بَارِدٌ فَذَهَبَ غَضَبُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ أَبُو نَصْرٍ وَاسْمُهُ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ خَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ

This hadith is about how even though someone may be very angry, they should not take justice into their own hands. It is narrated from Abu Nadrah that Abu Barzah said that when he saw how angry Abu Bakr was with a man, he offered to kill him. However, this offer shocked and cooled down Abu Bakr as it reminded him of what the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught - no one has the right to take justice into their own hands after him. This hadith teaches us that we must always remember and abide by what our beloved prophet taught us - even if we are feeling very strong emotions such as anger or frustration. We must never forget our values and teachings in order to maintain peace and justice in society.
