سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5185
Narrated Qays ibn Saad: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit us in our house, and said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Saad returned the greeting in a lower tone. Qays said: I said: Do you not grant permission to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to enter? He said: Leave him, he will give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Saad again responded in a lower tone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went away. Saad went after him and said: Messenger of Allah! I heard your greetings and responded in a lower tone so that you might give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned with him. Saad then offered to prepare bath-water for him, and he took a bath. He then gave him a long wrapper dyed with saffron or wars and he wrapped himself in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then raised his hands and said: O Allah, bestow Thy blessings and mercy on the family of Saad ibn Ubadah! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then shared their meals. When he intended to return, Saad brought near him an ass which was covered with a blanket. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted it. Saad said: O Qays, accompany the Messenger of Allah. Qays said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Ride. But I refused. He again said: Either ride or go away. He said: So I went away. Hisham said: Abu Marwan (transmitted) from Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Asad ibn Zurarah. Abu Dawud said: Umar bin Abd al-Wahid and Ibn Samaah transmitted it from al-Awzai' in mursal form (the ling of the Companion being missing), and they did not mention Qais bin Saad.
