It is narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) that when this verse:" O ye who believe I raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor shout loud unto him in discourse, as ye shout loud unto one another, lest your deeds should become null and void, while you perceive not" (xlix. 2-5), was revealed. Thabit bin Qais confined himself in his house and said: I am one of the denizens of Fire, and he deliberately avoided coming to the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . The Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked Sa'd b, Mu'adh about him and said, Abu Amr, how is Thabit? Has he fallen sick? Sa'd said: He is my neighbour, but I do not know of his illness. Sa'd came to him (Thabit), and conveyed to him the message of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . Upon this Thabit said: This verse was revealed, and you are well aware of the fact that, amongst all of you, mine is the voice louder than that of the Messenger of Allah, and so I am one amongst the denizens of Fire, Sa'd Informed the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about it. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed: (Nay, not so) but he (Thabit) is one of the dwellers of Paradise.
