[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

كَانَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرَطِ مِنَ الأَمِيرِ قَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ يَعْنِي مِمَّا يَلِي مِنْ أُمُورِهِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ قَوْلَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ

ذِكْرُ احْتِرَازِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ إِذَا دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ
