Qais bin Saʿd was to the Prophet ﷺ like a chief police officer to an Amir (chief).
أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ كَانَ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرَطِ مِنَ الأَمِيرِ
Qais bin Saʿd was to the Prophet ﷺ like a chief police officer to an Amir (chief).
أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ كَانَ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرَطِ مِنَ الأَمِيرِ
"Qais bin Sa'd used to be, to the Prophet ﷺ, in the position of the head of police for a ruler." (One of the narrators) Al-Ansari said: "That is: Due to his affairs that he takes charge of."
كَانَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرَطِ مِنَ الأَمِيرِ قَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ يَعْنِي مِمَّا يَلِي مِنْ أُمُورِهِ
"Qais bin Sa'd used to be, to the Prophet ﷺ, in the position of the head of police for a ruler." (One of the narrators) Al-Ansari said: "That is: Due to his affairs that he takes charge of." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3850)
«كَانَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْزِلَةَ صَاحِبِ الشَّرَطِ مِنَ الْأَمِيرِ»
[Machine] The position of Qais bin Saad with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was similar to the position of a police officer with a prince.
كَانَتْ مَنْزِلَةُ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلَةَ صَاحِبِ الشُّرْطَةِ مِنَ الْأَمِيرِ
"عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مِنَ النَبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرْطَةِ مِنَ الأمِيرِ".
