"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 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." (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
"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 مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشَّرْطِ مِنَ الْأَمِيرِ يَعْنِي يَنْظُرُ فِي أُمُورِهِ
"عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مِنَ النَبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرْطَةِ مِنَ الأمِيرِ".
