Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1509 — Signs of prophethood in Islam

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) found Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) missing (he was not present). A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! I will bring you news of him." He went and saw that Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting in his house with his head bowed (in grief). He asked, "What is the matter?" Thabit said, "It is bad; I used to raise my voice above the voice of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so all my deeds have been wasted and I am among the people of Hell." That man returned and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he says such and such. (The narrator Musa bin Anas) says that then that man went again (to Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him) with this great good news that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: "Go to him (Thabit) and say that you are not among the people of Hell, but rather among the people of Paradise."
