Sahih Muslim 119a (Book 1, Hadith 221) #7486
Reassurance of Paradise

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Thabit b. Qais who was scared that he would be sent to Hell due to his loud voice, but the Prophet reassured him that he will be in Paradise instead.

It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that when this verse: " O ye who believe I raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout loud unto him in discourse, as ye shout loud unto one another, lest your deeds should become null and void, while you perceive not" (49. 2), was revealed. Thabit b. Qais confined himself in his house and said: I am one of the denizens of Fire, and he deliberately avoided coming to the Apostle ﷺ. The Apostle ﷺ asked Sa'd b, Mu'adh about him and said, Abu Amr, how is Thabit? Has he fallen sick? Sa'd said: He is my neighbour, but I do not know of his illness. Sa'd came to him (Thabit), and conveyed to him the message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Upon this Thabit said: This verse was revealed, and you are well aware of the fact that, amongst all of you, mine is the voice louder than that of the Messenger of Allah, and so I am one amongst the denizens of Fire, Sa'd Informed the Prophet about it. Upon this the Messenger of Allah observed: (Nay, not so) but he (Thabit) is one of the dwellers of Paradise.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ‏}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ جَلَسَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَقَالَ أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ‏.‏ وَاحْتَبَسَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو مَا شَأْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَشْتَكَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَعْدٌ إِنَّهُ لَجَارِي وَمَا عَلِمْتُ لَهُ بِشَكْوَى ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ سَعْدٌ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي مِنْ أَرْفَعِكُمْ صَوْتًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ سَعْدٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ بَلْ هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Repent sincerely from wrongdoings & Ask for forgiveness with a pure heart

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Thabit b. Qais who was scared that he would be sent to Hell due to his loud voice, which was louder than the Prophet's voice. He thought this because of a verse in the Quran which said not to raise your voices above the Prophet's and if you do, your deeds will become null and void. However, when Sa'd informed the Prophet about this fear of Thabit's, the Prophet reassured him that he will be in Paradise instead and not Hell as he feared. This hadith teaches us an important lesson; no matter how bad we think our deeds are or how much we fear for our fate after death, Allah knows best and He can forgive us for any wrongdoings we have done if we repent sincerely from them and ask for His forgiveness with a pure heart. It also teaches us humility; even though Thabit's voice was louder than the prophet's, it did not make him superior or better than anyone else since everyone has their own unique qualities which makes them special in their own way.
