Hadith of Qays ibn Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ، ٢٣٨٤٠ - حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ، فَقَالَ: " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ، فَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهَا، وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهَا، وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ "، وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ: " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ، وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) used to order the giving of Sadaqat-ul-Fitr. When the command of Zakat was revealed, we were forbidden from it and were not ordered to do so, but we continued to give it. And before the command of fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to fast on the day of Ashura. When the command of fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) neither ordered us to fast on Ashura nor forbade us, but we ourselves continued to fast.

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ،، ، أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَنْ شَدَّدَ سُلْطَانَهُ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ أَوْهَنَ اللهُ كَيْدَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever justifies his ruler in disobedience to Allah, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will weaken his strategy.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ، وَقَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ كَانَا قَاعِدَيْنِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ، فَمَرُّوا عَلَيْهِمَا بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَامَا، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَا: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرُّوا عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَالَ: " أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا " (٢)، ،

Sahl bin Hunaif (may Allah be pleased with him) and Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) were once sitting in Qadisiyyah. Meanwhile, some people passed by carrying a funeral bier. Both of them stood up. Someone said that the deceased was from the residents of this area. They replied that once some people passed by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) carrying a funeral bier, so the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up. Someone said that the deceased was a Jew. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Was he not a human being?”

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَدَقَةِ الْفِطْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا، وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had ordered the payment of Sadaqat al-Fitr. When the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) neither ordered us to pay Sadaqat al-Fitr nor forbade it, but we ourselves continued to pay it.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَضَعْنَا لَهُ غِسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ بِمِلْحَفَةٍ وَرْسِيَّةٍ، فَاشْتَمَلَ بِهَا، فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَثَرِ الْوَرْسِ عَلَى عُكَنِهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَاهُ بِحِمَارٍ لِيَرْكَبَ، فَقَالَ: " صَاحِبُ، ، الْحِمَارِ أَحَقُّ بِصَدْرِ حِمَارِهِ " فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَالْحِمَارُ لَكَ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came to us. We arranged water for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) to bathe. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) bathed, then we brought to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) a quilt dyed with that water, which the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) wrapped around himself. The marks that appeared on the folds of the Noble Prophet's (ﷺ) stomach, that scene is still before my eyes. Then we brought a donkey to serve as a ride for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The owner of the ride has more right to sit in front." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then this ride is only for you."
