[Machine] "When this verse was revealed, 'O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet' [Al-Hujurat 2] until His statement 'and you do not perceive' [Al-Zumar 55], Thabit bin Qays bin Shammas, who had a loud voice, said, 'I am the one who used to raise my voice above the Prophet of Allah. My deeds have been wasted, and I am from the people of the Hellfire.' He then sat with his sorrowful family, and the Messenger of Allah then asked about him. Some people went to him and said, 'The Messenger of Allah is asking about you, what is wrong?' He said, 'I am the one who used to raise my voice above the voice of the Prophet, and I would speak openly. My deeds have been wasted, and I am from the people of the Hellfire.' They went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what he had said. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No, rather he is from the people of Paradise.' Anas said, 'We used to see him walking among us, and we knew that he was from the people of Paradise. On the day of Yamamah, during one of our open battles, Thabit bin Qays came among us while we were talking and said, while he had already been buried in the shroud, 'What a bad thing you are ordering your companions to do! Engage in fighting until you die.'"  

أحمد:١٢٣٩٩ – حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ} [الحجرات 2] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ} [الزمر 55] وَكَانَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ الشَّمَّاسِ رَفِيعَ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ أَنَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَبِطَ عَمَلِي أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَجَلَسَ فِي أَهْلِهِ حَزِينًا فَتَفَقَّدَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ تَفَقَّدَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ أَنَا الَّذِي أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَأَجْهَرُ بِالْقَوْلِ حَبِطَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَأَتَوْا النَّبيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَكُنَّا نَرَاهُ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْيَمَامَةِ كَانَ فِينَا بَعْضُ الِانْكِشَافِ فَجَاءَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ وَقَدْ تَحَنَّطَ وَلَبِسَ كَفَنَهُ فَقَالَبِئْسَمَا تُعَوِّدُونَ أَقْرَانَكُمْ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ

[Machine] When this verse was revealed: "O you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet or be loud to him in speech" (Quran 49:2), Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas was sitting in his house. He said, "I am the one who used to raise my voice and speak loudly to him, and I am one of the people of Hellfire." The Prophet ﷺ missed him, so they informed him about it, and he said, "Rather, he is one of the people of Paradise." Anas said, "So we used to see him walking among us, knowing that he is from the people of Paradise. And on the day of Yamamah, when this revelation was revealed, he put on his clothes and prepared himself, then he fought until he was killed."  

ابن حبّان:٧١٦٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمُ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ} قَعَدَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَقَالَ أَنَا الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي وَأَجْهَرُ لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ «فَكُنَّا نَرَاهُ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْيَمَامَةِ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الِانْكِشَافُ لَبِسَ ثِيَابَهُ وَتَحَنَّطَ وَتَقَدَّمَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ»
