    عَن أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شماس خطيب الْأَنْصَار فَلَمَّا نزلت هَذِه الْآيَة: [يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوق صَوت النَّبِي] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ جَلَسَ ثَابِتٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَاحْتَبَسَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ: «مَا شَأْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَيَشْتَكِي؟» فَأَتَاهُ سَعْدٌ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ: أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي مِنْ أَرْفَعِكُمْ صَوْتًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَلْ هُوَ من أهل الْجنَّة» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

    Anas said: Thabit b. Qais b. Shammas was the eloquent one among the Ansar, and when the verse came down, “You who believe, do not raise your voices above the Prophet’s voice…[*]” Thabit stayed in his house and kept away from the Prophet. The Prophet asked Sa`d b. Mu’adh, “What is the matter with Thabit? Is he ill?” Sa’d went to him and mentioned what God’s messenger had said and Thabit replied, “This verse was sent down, and you know that I am the one among you who has the loudest voice above that of God’s messenger, so I am one of those who will go to hell.” When Sa’d mentioned that to the Prophet he said, “No, he is one of those who will go to paradise.” *Quran, 49:2. Muslim transmitted it.

    Qais b. `Ubad said: When I was sitting in the mosque of Medina a man entered with the mark of humility on his face and the people said this would be one pf the inhabitants of paradise. He prayed two rak’as, which he performed briefly, and when he went out, I followed him and said, “When you entered the mosque the people said this would be one of the inhabitants of paradise.” He replied, “I swear by God that it is unfitting for anyone to say something he does not know; but I shall explain the matter to you. In the time of God’s messenger, I had a vision which I told to him. I seemed to see myself in a garden (whose extent and verdure he mentioned) in the midst of which there was an iron pillar the bottom of which was in the earth and the top in the sky with a handle at the top. I was told to ascend it, and when I replied that I was unable a servant came to me, raised my clothing behind me, and I ascended till I reached the top of it. I then seized the handle and was told to hold tight, and when it was in my hand I awoke. I told it to the Prophet and he said, `That garden is Islam, that pillar is the pillar of Islam, and that handle is the surest handle[*], so you will keep to Islam till you die’.” [Qais said] that man was `Abdallah b. Salam. *Cf. Quran, 2:256; 31:22. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Khabbab b. al-Aratt said: We emigrated along with God’s messenger seeking the face of God most high, so our reward will come from God. Some of us have passed away not enjoying any of their reward[1],’Abdallah b. Mas’ud among whom was Mus’ab b. `Umair who was killed at the battle of Uhud, for whom only a coarse cloth could be found as a shroud. When we covered his head, his feet appeared and when we covered his feet his head appeared, so the Prophet said, “Cover his head and put some rushes over his feet.” Among us there were some for whom their fruit flourished, and they were plucking it[2]. i.e., their reward in this world. Others lived long enough to enjoy worldly prosperity. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Sa’d said: When six of us were with the Prophet the polytheists said to him, “Drive these people away and let them not have the audacity to address us[1].” I was present, also Ibn Mas’ud, a man of Hudhail, Bilal, and two men whose names I cannot remember. Then what God willed occurred to God’s messenger’s mind and he thought about it. God most high then sent down, “Do not drive away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face[2].” 1. They were clients and poor people despised by Quraish who refused to listen to the Prophet unless he sent them away. 2. i.e., His good pleasure. Quran, 6:52. Muslim transmitted it.
