حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْخَفَّافُ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثنا عَنْبَسَةُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ قَالَ
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «لِمَ؟» قَالَ نَهَانَا اللهُ ﷻ عَنِ الْحَمْدِ أَنْ نُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ نَفْعَلْ وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا ثَابِتُ أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَعَاشَ حَمِيدًا وَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ

✧ "O Messenger of God, I fear that I have been destroyed." He said, "Why?" He said, "God, the Exalted, forbade us praise—that we be praised for what we have not done—and I love praise; He forbade us arrogance, and I love beauty; and He forbade us to raise our voices above your voice, and I am a man with a loud voice." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Thabit, would you not be pleased to live praised, be killed as a martyr, and enter the Garden?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of God." So he lived praised and was killed as a martyr on the day of Musaylima the Liar.
