وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، سُبِقَ بِرَكْعَةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، فَقَامَ يَقْضِي، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، وَقَعَدَ النَّاسُ حَوَالَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الصَّلَاةَ، جَاءَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ: أَوْسِعْ لِي، فَأَوْسَعَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى ثَانٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَوْسِعْ لِي، فَأَوْسَعَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى ثَالِثٍ، فَقَالَ: أَوْسِعْ لِي، فَقَالَ: مِنْ وَرَائِكَ سَعَةٌ، أَيُّ شَيْءٍ تَخَطَّا النَّاسَ ؟ فَنَظَرَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ فُلَانَةَ، فَسَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: « مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي عَيَّرَ الرَّجُلَ قُبَيْلُ بِأُمِّهِ ؟ »، فَسَكَتُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ الثَّانِيَةَ: « مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي عَيَّرَ الرَّجُلَ قُبَيْلُ بِأُمِّهِ ؟ »، فَقَامَ ثَابِتٌ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سُبِقْتُ بِرَكْعَةٍ، وَأَنَا فِي أُذُنِي صَمَمٌ، فَاشْتَهَيْتُ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْكَ، وَقَعَدَ النَّاسُ حَوَالَيْكَ، فَذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ، قَالَ: فَعَيَّرْتُهُ بِأُمٍّ كَانَتْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، كَانَ غَيْرُهَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « يَا ثَابِتُ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ فَوْقَ هَذَا الْمَلَأِ، فِيهِمُ الْأَسْوَدُ، وَالْأَبْيَضُ، وَالْأَحْمَرُ، مَا أَنْتَ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى

✧ Thabit b. Qays b. Shammas missed a rak'ah of the dawn prayer, so he stood up to make it up. The Prophet ﷺ stood up and the people sat around him. When Thabit b. Qays finished the prayer, he came to a man and said: 'Make room for me,' so he made room for him. Then he came to a second and said: 'Make room for me,' so he made room for him. Then he came to a third and said: 'Make room for me,' but he said: 'Behind you there is plenty of room. Why are you stepping over people?' He looked at his face and said: 'O son of such-and-such a woman!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard it and said: 'Who is this who has reproached the man shortly before by his mother?' They were silent. Then he said a second time: 'Who is this who has reproached the man shortly before by his mother?' Thabit stood up and said: 'I missed a rak'ah, and I have deafness in my ear, so I wanted to draw near to you, and the people sat around you.' He mentioned the story. He said: 'So I reproached him for a mother who lived in the pre-Islamic era, while other women were better than her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Thabit b. Qays, raise your head above this assembly. Among them are the black, the white, and the red. You are no better than these except through piety.'
