[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I feared that I might have been destroyed," said the individual. The Prophet (pbuh) asked, "Why?" He replied, "Allah has forbidden us from praising ourselves for what we have not done, and I find myself loving praise. Allah has forbidden us from false pride, and I find myself loving beauty. Allah has forbidden us from raising our voices above yours, and yet I have a loud voice." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) asked, "Thabit, would you not be pleased to live a praiseworthy life, be killed as a martyr, and enter Paradise?" He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Then live a praiseworthy life and be killed as a martyr on the day of Musaylimah al-Kadhdhab." This hadith is reported by Muslim alone on the authority of Hammam ibn Salamah and Sulayman ibn al-Mughira from Thabit, on the condition mentioned by the two Sheikhs (referring to Imam Bukhari and Muslim). They did not report it in this context. Thabit ibn Qays narrated the hadith briefly according to the conditions set by Bukhari and Muslim.
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَلِمَ؟» قَالَ نَهَانَا اللَّهُ أَنْ نُحِبَّ أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا ثَابِتُ أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وَتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَعَاشَ حَمِيدًا وَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ بِهَذِهِ السِّيَاقَةِ» إِنَّمَا أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ وَحْدَهُ حَدِيثَ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ} [الحجرات 2] جَاءَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مُخْتَصَرًاعلى شرط البخاري ومسلم
