5185. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin As'ad bin Zurārah, from Qais bin Sa'd, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ visited us in our house, and he said: 'As-Salāmu 'alaikum wa rahmat-Allāh.' Sa'd responded in a low voice" – Qais said: "And I said: 'Won't you let the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ come in?'" He said: 'Let him give us more Salām.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'As-Salāmu 'alaikum wa rahmat-Allāh,' and Sa'd responded in a low voice. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'As-Salāmu 'alaikum wa rahmat-Allāh,' then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went back. Sa'd followed him, and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I heard your Salām and I answered you in a low voice, so that you would give us more Salām.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came back with him, and Sa'd ordered that water be brought for him to wash himself, then he gave him a wrapper that was dyed with saffron or Wars and he wrapped himself in it. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ raised his hands, saying: 'O Allāh, send Your Ṣalāt and mercy upon the family of Sa'd bin 'Ubādah.' Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ate some food, and when he wanted to leave, Sa'd brought him a donkey covered with Qatīfah,[1] and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ mounted it. Sa'd said: 'O Qais, accompany the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" Qais said: "And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Ride,' but I refused. Then he said: 'Either ride or go away,' so I went away." (Ḍa'if)

5185 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْمَعْنَى - قَالَ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى - حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: زَارَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَنْزِلِنَا فَقَالَ: «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ» فَرَدَّ سَعْدٌ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا، قَالَ قَيْسٌ: فَقُلْتُ: أَلَا تَأْذَنُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: ذَرْهُ يُكْثِرُ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ السَّلَامِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ» فَرَدَّ سَعْدُ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ» ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاتَّبَعَهُ سَعْدٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ تَسْلِيمَكَ وَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ رَدًّا خَفِيًّا لِتُكْثِرَ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ السَّلَامِ، قَالَ: فَانْصَرَفَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ بِغُسْلٍ، فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهُ مِلْحَفَةً مَصْبُوغَةً بِزَعْفَرَانٍ، أَوْ وَرْسٍ، فَاشْتَمَلَ بِهَا، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ عَلَى آلِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الِانْصِرَافَ قَرَّبَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ حِمَارًا قَدْ وَطَّأَ عَلَيْهِ بِقَطِيفَةٍ، فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا قَيْسُ اصْحَبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ قَيْسٌ: فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ارْكَبْ» فَأَبَيْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِمَّا أَنْ تَرْكَبَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ» قَالَ: فَانْصَرَفْتُ. قَالَ هِشَامٌ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، وَابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ مُرْسَلًا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ
