When the verse "Believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet" [Hujurat 49:2] was revealed, along with the rest of the verse, Thabit bin Qays stayed at home and said, "I am one of the people of the Fire," and he kept away from the Prophet ﷺ.So the Prophet ﷺ asked Saad bin Muaz, "Abu Amr, what is the matter with Thabit? Is he ill?"Saad replied, "He is my neighbor, and I know of no illness he has."Saad then went to him and told him what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said.Thabit said, "This verse was revealed, and you all know that I was among those who raised their voices the loudest in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I am one of the people of the Fire."Saad mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the contrary, he is one of the people of Paradise."
لما نزلت هذه الآية: {يأيها الذين ءامنوا لا ترفعوا أصواتكم فوق صوت النبي} إلى آخر الآية، جلس ثابت بن قيس في بيته، وقال: أنا من أهل النار، واحتبس عن النبي ﷺ، فسأل النبي ﷺ سعد بن معاذ، فقال: يا أبا عمرو، ما شأن ثابت؟ أشتكى؟ قال سعد: إنه لجاري، وما علمت له بشكوى، قال: فأتاه سعد، فذكر له قول رسول الله ﷺ، فقال ثابت: أنزلت هذه الآية، ولقد علمتم أني من أرفعكم صوتا على رسول الله ﷺ، فأنا من أهل النار، فذكر ذلك سعد للنبي ﷺ، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: بل هو من أهل الجنة.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Faith (119) from Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba, who said, Hasan bin Musa told us, who said, Hammad bin Salama told us, from Thabit Bunani, from Anas, and he related it.Bukhari also narrated it in the tafsir (4846) through another route from Anas, similarly.
