[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  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «لِمَ؟ » قَالَ قَدْ نَهَانَا اللَّهُ عَنْ أَنْ نُحِبَّ أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَى اللَّهُ عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَنَهَى اللَّهُ أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ 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  

[Machine] "A man named Thabit came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I feared that I had been destroyed.' The Prophet asked him, 'Why?' Thabit replied, 'Allah has prohibited us from praising what we have not done, and I am a man who loves praise. Allah has also forbidden us from raising our voices above yours, and I am a loud-voiced man. And Allah has forbidden us from ostentation, and I am a man who loves beauty.' The Prophet ﷺ then said, 'O Thabit, would you not like to live a praiseworthy life and die as a martyr?' Thabit was martyred on the day of the Battle of Yamamah."  

أَنَّ ثَابِتًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «لِمَ؟» قَالَ نَهَانَا اللهُ أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ فَقَالَ «يَا ثَابِتُ أَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا؟» فَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ  

[Machine] I said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I feared that I may have perished. He said, "Why?" I said, Allah forbids a person to be praised for what he did not do, and I find myself loving to be praised. And Allah forbids boasting, and I find myself loving to boast. And Allah forbids raising our voices above your voice, and I am a man with a loud voice. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Don't you want to live a praiseworthy life and be martyred and enter Paradise?" I said, Yes, O Messenger of Allah. So he lived a praiseworthy life and was martyred on the day of Musaylimah.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «بِمَ؟» قُلْتُ نَهَى اللهُ الْمَرْءَ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَى الله عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْخُيَلَاءَ وَنَهَى اللهُ أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَعَاشَ حَمِيدًا وَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I feared that I have been destroyed." He said, "Why?" He said, "Verily, Allah forbids us from praising what we have not done, and I find myself loving praise. He forbids us from boasting, and I am a person who loves beauty. He forbids us from raising our voices above yours, and I am a person with a loud voice." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Thabit bin Qais, are you not pleased to live as a praiseworthy person, be killed as a martyr, and enter Paradise?"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «بِمَ؟» قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَانَا أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ؟»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I feared that I may have been destroyed," he said. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Why?" He replied, "Allah has forbidden a person to desire to be praised for what they have not done. And I find myself loving praise, and Allah has forbidden us from being loud and I find myself loving beauty, and He has forbidden us from raising our voices above yours. And indeed, I am someone who raises their voice. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Thabit, would you not be pleased to live a praiseworthy life, be martyred, and enter Paradise?" He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So he lived a praiseworthy life and was martyred on the day of Musaylimah."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ «لِمَ؟» قَالَ نَهَى اللهُ الْمَرْءَ أَنْ يُحِبَّ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَإِنِّي امْرُؤٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ثَابِتُ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلُ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَعَاشَ حَمِيدًا وَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I was afraid that I might have perished," he said. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Why?" He replied, "Allah ﷻ has forbidden us from praising what we have not done, and I love to be praised. He has also forbidden us from false pretenses, and I love beauty. He has forbidden us from raising our voices louder than yours, and I am a man with a loud voice." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Thabit, do you not want to live as a praiseworthy person, be martyred, and enter Paradise?" He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So, he lived as a praiseworthy person, was martyred on the day of Musaylimah the Liar, and entered Paradise."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «لِمَ؟» قَالَ نَهَانَا اللهُ ﷻ عَنِ الْحَمْدِ أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا ثَابِتُ أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَعَاشَ حَمِيدًا وَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ
