The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit us in our house, and said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Sa'd returned the greeting in a lower tone. Qays said: I said: Do you not grant permission to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to enter? He said: Leave him, he will give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Sa'd again responded in a lower tone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went away. Sa'd went after him and said: Messenger of Allah! I heard your greetings and responded in a lower tone so that you might give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned with him. Sa'd then offered to prepare bath-water for him, and he took a bath. He then gave him a long wrapper dyed with saffron or wars and he wrapped himself in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then raised his hands and said: O Allah, bestow Thy blessings and mercy on the family of Sa'd ibn Ubadah! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then shared their meals. When he intended to return, Sa'd brought near him an ass which was covered with a blanket. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted it. Sa'd said: O Qays, accompany the Messenger of Allah. Qays said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Ride. But I refused. He again said: Either ride or go away. He said: So I went away. Hisham said: AbuMarwan (transmitted) from Muhammad ibn AbdurRahman ibn As'ad ibn Zurarah. Abu Dawud said: 'Umar b. 'Abd al-Wahid and Ibn Sama'ah transmitted it from al-Awzai' in mursal form (the ling of the Companion being missing), and they did not mention Qais b. Sa'd.  

زَارَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَنْزِلِنَا فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَرَدَّ سَعْدٌ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا قَالَ قَيْسٌ فَقُلْتُ أَلاَ تَأْذَنُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ذَرْهُ يُكْثِرْ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ السَّلاَمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ فَرَدَّ سَعْدٌ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاتَّبَعَهُ سَعْدٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ تَسْلِيمَكَ وَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا لِتُكْثِرَ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ السَّلاَمِ قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ بِغِسْلٍ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ مِلْحَفَةً مَصْبُوغَةً بِزَعْفَرَانٍ أَوْ وَرْسٍ فَاشْتَمَلَ بِهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ عَلَى آلِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الاِنْصِرَافَ قَرَّبَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ حِمَارًا قَدْ وَطَّأَ عَلَيْهِ بِقَطِيفَةٍ فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا قَيْسُ اصْحَبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَيْسٌ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ارْكَبْ فَأَبَيْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِمَّا أَنْ تَرْكَبَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ قَالَ فَانْصَرَفْتُ قَالَ هِشَامٌ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to the house of Sa'd and stood at its door. He greeted and Sa'd replied and was afraid. Then he greeted again and Sa'd replied and was afraid. Then he greeted again and Sa'd replied and was afraid. So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , turned, returning. Sa'd followed him, walking in his footsteps, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, I swear by Allah, nothing prevented me from returning your greeting except to hear more of your greeting. So he entered and put some cool water, then he performed ablution and was brought a colored cloak. He put it on, and I saw the reflection of light on his shoulders. Then he came and sat down and said, "O Allah, send peace upon the Ansar and their descendants, and the descendants of the descendants of the Ansar." When he wanted to leave, a donkey was brought to him and a coarse cloth was laid on it. He sent his son to lead the donkey back. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Carry him before me." Sa'd said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I carry him before you?" He said, "Yes, he deserves the back of his donkey." Sa'd said, "O Messenger of Allah, the donkey is yours." He said, "Carry him behind me."  

أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَارَ سَعْدٍ فَقَامَ عَلَى بَابِهَا فَسَلَّمَ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ وَخَافَتَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ وَخَافَتَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ وَخَافَتَ فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَاجِعًا فَتَبِعَهُ سَعْدٌ يَسْعَى فِي أَثَرِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي وَاللهِ مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ إِلَّا لِتُكْثِرَ لَنَا مِنْ سَلَامِكَ فَدَخَلَ وَوَضَعَ مَاءً يَتَبَرَّدُ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَأُتِيَ بِمِلْحَفَةٍ قَدْ صُبِغَتْ بِالْوَرْسِ فَلَبِسَهَا فَلَقَد رَأَيْتُ رَدْعَ الْوَرْسِ عَلَى عُكَنِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْأَنْصَارِ وَعَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَعَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ ذُرِّيَّةِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ أُتِيَ بِحِمَارٍ فَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةً مَا هِيَ بِخَزٍّ وَلَا مَرْعَزِيٌّ وَأَرْسَلَ مَعَهُ ابْنَهُ يَرُدُّهُ الْحِمَارَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «احْمِلْهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ» فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحْمِلُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ حِمَارِهِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْحِمَارُ لَكَ قَالَ «احْمِلْهُ خَلْفِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited us in our house and greeted us, saying, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah." Saad responded secretly, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the same greeting again, and Saad responded secretly. This happened three times. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left, and Saad followed him. Saad said, "O Messenger of Allah, I used to hear your salaam, so I responded secretly to increase the salaam for us." The guest of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ then went away, and Saad ordered for the place to be washed, so it was washed and he performed ghusl. Then he was given a dyed cloth by a woman, and he covered himself with it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, bless the family of Saad ibn Ubada with your prayers and mercy." Then he ate some food, and when he wanted to leave, Saad brought a donkey to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted it and said to Saad, "O Qais, accompany the Messenger of Allah." Saad refused, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Either you ride or you leave." So I left.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit us in our house, and said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Sa'd returned the greeting in a lower tone.
