Narrated Qays ibn Saad: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to enter? He said: Leave him, he will give us many greetings. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! Saad again responded in a lower tone. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم again said: Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you! So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then raised his hands and said: O Allah, bestow Thy blessings and mercy on the family of Saad ibn Ubadah! The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mounted it. Saad said: O Qays, accompany the Messenger of Allah. Qays said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
