Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2243 — O Messenger of Allah! I fear that I may have
وَعَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، أَنَّ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ ، فَقَالَ : I " لِمَ ؟ I " قَالَ : فَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْخُيَلَاءَ ، وَيَنْهَى اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ ، وَأَنَا جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : يَا ثَابِتُ ، أَلَيْسَ تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا ، وَتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ ؟ .
Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! I fear that I may have been ruined." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why is that?" He said: "I find in myself a liking for pride and self-admiration, while Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden us to raise our voices above your (peace and blessings be upon him) voice, and I am a man with a loud voice." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Thabit! Are you not pleased to live a praiseworthy life, to be killed as a martyr, and to enter Paradise?"
