حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلُ ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ
أَنَّ ثَابِتًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «لِمَ؟» قَالَ نَهَانَا اللهُ أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ فَقَالَ «يَا ثَابِتُ أَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا؟» فَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ

✧ Thabit came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of God, I fear that I have been destroyed." He said, "Why?" He said, "God forbade us to be praised for what we have not done, and I am a man who loves praise; and He forbade us to raise our voices above your voice, and I am a man with a loud voice; and He forbade us arrogance, and I am a man who loves beauty." He said, "O Thabit, would you not like to live praised and be killed as a martyr?" So he was killed on the day of al-Yamama.
