A man reviled Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه in the presence of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ remained seated. He looked pleased and smiled. He insulted Abu Bakr twice, but Abu Bakr controlled himself and remained silent. ++
He insulted him for a third time, and Abu Bakr then let his tongue loose and responded back. At that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and left.

Abu Bakr followed after the Prophet ﷺ and said: “Messenger of Allah! He insulted me and you just sat there. ++
Then when I responded to some of what he said, you became angry and got up.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “There was an angel with you who was responding to his insults on your behalf. ++
Then the Prophet ﷺ said: “Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه, (keep in mind) three things which are always true, one of which is that whenever a person is subjected to an injustice but leaves the matter to Allah, then Allah will come to his aid… .” (Musnad Ahmad)++
It is not a weakness to remain silent, but this takes real strength.
Please stop abusing our brothers in faith or the Kuffars and Munafiqs.
Hope we don't cross our limits.
We're pleasing the Shaitan by doing this.
