Hadeeth text
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) noticed the absence of Thābit ibn Qays. A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I will bring you his news." So, he went to him and saw him sitting in his house, his head drooping (sadly). He said: "What is wrong with you?" Thābit said: "An evil situation; he used to raise his voice over the Prophet's voice, and so all his good deeds have been annulled, and he is from the people of Hellfire." The man returned and told the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that he had said such and such. The man went to Thābit again with glad tidings. He said: "Go and say to him: You are not from the people of Hellfire but from the people of Paradise."
Explanation
The man returned to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and told him about that. Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to go back to Thābit and give him glad tidings that he was not one of the people of Hellfire but one of the people of Paradise. This is because his voice was naturally loud and because he was the speaker of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and the speaker of the Ansār.
Benefits
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) cared about the Companions and used to ask about them.
It demonstrates the Companions' heedfulness and their fear that their good deeds might be rendered worthless.
It is obligatory to address the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) politely during his lifetime and to lower our voices upon hearing his Sunnah, after his death.
