Sahih al-Bukhari 3613 (Book 61, Hadith 120) #3452
Reassurance in Times of Despair

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed the absence of Thabit bin Qais and asked him what was wrong. Thabit replied that a man had raised his voice over the voice of the Prophet (ﷺ) and all his good deeds were annulled, leading him to believe he was from the people of Hell. The Prophet (ﷺ) then reassured Thabit that he was not from the people of Fire, but from the people of Paradise.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet noticed the absence of Thabit bin Qais. A man said, "O Allah's Messenger ! I shall bring you his news". So he went to him and saw him sitting in his house drooping his head (sadly). He asked Thabit, "What's the matter?" Thabit replied, "An evil situation: A man used to raise his voice over the voice of the Prophet and so all his good deeds have been annulled and he is from the people of Hell". The man went back and told the Prophet that Thabit had said so-and-so. (The sub-narrator, Musa bin Anas said, "The man went to Thabit again with glad tidings)". The Prophet said to him, "Go and say to Thabit: 'You are not from the people of Fire, but from the people of Paradise".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ افْتَقَدَ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَا أَعْلَمُ لَكَ عِلْمَهُ‏.‏ فَأَتَاهُ فَوَجَدَهُ جَالِسًا فِي بَيْتِهِ مُنَكِّسًا رَأْسَهُ، فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ فَقَالَ شَرٌّ، كَانَ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ، وَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ‏.‏ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ فَرَجَعَ الْمَرَّةَ الآخِرَةَ بِبِشَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Turn back to Allah with sincere repentance

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how even when we make mistakes, Allah is always there to forgive us and give us hope. It tells us that no matter how bad our situation may seem, we should never lose faith in Allah's mercy and forgiveness. In this hadith, a man raised his voice over the voice of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ which led to all his good deeds being annulled. However, when this news reached Prophet Muhammad ﷺ he reassured Thabit bin Qais that despite what happened he would still be among those who enter paradise on judgement day. This teaches us an important lesson; no matter how much we sin or make mistakes in life, if we turn back to Allah with sincere repentance He will forgive us for our sins and grant us paradise on judgement day as long as we remain steadfast in our faith until then.
