Sahih al-Bukhari 4367 (Book 64, Hadith 393) #4166
The Importance of Not Arguing in Front of Allah and His Prophet

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not arguing in front of Allah and His Prophet.

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika: 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair said that a group of riders belonging to Banu Tamim came to the Prophet, Abu Bakr said (to the Prophet ), "Appoint Al-Qa'qa bin Mabad bin Zurara as (their) ruler"'.Umar said (to the Prophet)".No! But appoint Al-Aqra bin H'Abis". Thereupon Abu Bakr said (to 'Umar)".You just wanted to oppose me"'.Umar replied".I did not want to oppose you". So both of them argued so much that their voices became louder, and then the following Divine Verses were revealed in that connection:-- "O you who believe ! Do not be forward in the presence of Allah and His Apostle".. (till the end of Verse).(49:1)
حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ، قَدِمَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمِّرِ الْقَعْقَاعَ بْنَ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ بَلْ أَمِّرِ الأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلاَّ خِلاَفِي‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ مَا أَرَدْتُ خِلاَفَكَ‏.‏ فَتَمَارَيَا حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا فَنَزَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تُقَدِّمُوا‏}‏ حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of respecting Allah and His Prophet, as well as being humble when interacting with them. It is narrated by Ibn Abi Mulaika that a group of riders from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet, Abu Bakr suggested appointing Al-Qa'qa bin Mabad bin Zurara as their ruler while Umar suggested appointing Al-Aqra bin H'Abis instead. Both Abu Bakr and Umar argued so much that their voices became louder, which prompted the revelation of a verse from Quran 49:1 which states “O you who believe! Do not be forward in the presence of Allah and His Apostle”. This verse serves as a reminder for believers to remain humble when interacting with Allah and His prophet, even if they disagree on something. It also teaches us to respect each other's opinions without raising our voices or arguing too much in front of them.
