Sahih al-Bukhari 4815 (Book 65, Hadith 337) #4598
The Intervention of Abu Bakr to Save Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: This hadith tells us about the time when Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was praying in the courtyard of Ka'ba and Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait tried to kill him for saying that Allah is his Lord. Abu Bakr intervened and stopped Uqba from killing Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: I asked 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As to inform me of the worst thing the pagans had done to Allah's Apostle. He said: "While Allah's Messenger was praying in the courtyard of the Ka'ba, 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait came and seized Allah's Messenger by the shoulder and twisted his garment round his neck and throttled him severely. Abu Bakr came and seized 'Uqba's shoulder and threw him away from Allah's Apostle and said, "Would you kill a man because he says: 'My Lord is Allah,' and has come to you with clear Signs from your Lord?" (40:28)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِأَشَدِّ، مَا صَنَعَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي بِفِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ، فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلَوَى ثَوْبَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ فَخَنَقَهُ خَنْقًا شَدِيدًا، فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِهِ، وَدَفَعَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ ‏{‏أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلاً أَنْ يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident that happened during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was a time when he was praying in the courtyard of Ka’bah and Uqba bin Abi Mu’ait tried to kill him for saying that Allah is his Lord. However, Abu Bakr intervened and saved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from being killed by stopping Uqba from doing so. This incident teaches us several values such as faith in Allah and His Messenger ﷺ; protection of one another; respect for each other's beliefs; courage to stand up against injustice; etc. It also shows us how important it is to have people around who are willing to protect us even if it means putting their own lives at risk. We should be grateful for those who protect us even if they are not related or close friends with us because they are doing it out of love for humanity which is a great virtue indeed!
