Hadith 14060

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ سورة الحجرات آية 2 ، قَالَ : قَعَدَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ ، فَفَقَدَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ : " يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو ، مَا شَأْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ لَا يُرَى ؟ ! اشْتَكَى ؟ " فَقَالَ : مَا عَلِمْتُ لَهُ بِمَرَضٍ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَجَارِي ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِنْ أَشَدِّكُمْ رَفْعَ صَوْتٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ ، وَقَدْ هَلَكْتُ ، أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " بَلْ هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet," Hazrat Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), whose voice was naturally loud, said, "My voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." Thinking this, he sat at home in grief. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about his absence, so some people went to him and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asking about your absence. What is the matter?" He said, "I am the one whose voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I speak loudly while talking, so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." The people came and mentioned this to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No, rather he is a person of Paradise."
