English translation
4846. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه:The Prophet ﷺ missed Thābit bin Qais for aperiod (so he inquired about him). A man said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I will bring you his news." So he went to Thābit and found him sitting in his house and bowing his head. The man said to Thābit, "What is the matter with you?" Thābit replied that it was an evil affair, for he used to raise his voice above the voice of the Prophet ﷺ and so all his good deeds had been annulled, and he considered himself as one of the people of the Fire. Then the man returned to the Prophet ﷺ and told him that Thābit had said so-and-so. Mūsā (bin Anas) said, "The man returned to Thābit with great glad tidings. The Prophet ﷺ said to the man, 'Go back to him and say to him: 'You are not from the people of the Hell-fire, but from the people of Paradise.'"
