Thabit ibn Qays

It is said in a narration his wife, Jameelah bint Abdillāh ibn Ubayy ibn Salool asked for divorce and they got divorced after that. Ibn ‘Abbās said: The wife of Thābit ibn Qays came to Muhammad and said: This is the first hadeeth quoted by Al-Hāfidh Ibn Hajr (d. 852H) in his Buloogh Al-Marām, Chapter of Khula’ (باب الخلع). Amr ibn Shu’ayb reported from his father, from his grandfather that Thābit ibn Qays was unattractive and his wife said: “If it was not for the fear of Allah, when Thābit entered in my presence, I would have spat in his face.” (Ibn Mājah, 2057 and declared weak by Al-Albāni) Also, Ahmad reported in his Musnad (16095) from Sahl ibn Abee Hathmah that: “This was the first Khula’ in Islam.” ==Promise of Paradise==

It is reported He was promised Paradise. Sahih al-Bukhari 3613 Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed the absence of Thabit bin Qais. A man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I shall bring you his news." So he went to him and saw him sitting in his house drooping his head (sadly). He asked Thabit, "What's the matter?" Thabit replied, "An evil situation: A man used to raise his voice over the voice of the Prophet (ﷺ) and so all his good deeds have been annulled and he is from the people of Hell." The man went back and told the Prophet (ﷺ) that Thabit had said so-and-so. (The sub-narrator, Musa bin Anas said, "The man went to Thabit again with glad tidings)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Go and say to Thabit: 'You are not from the people of Fire, but from the people of Paradise." ==The title of Khatib of Islam==

The title "Khatib-e-Islam" was first used for Thabit bin Qais Ansari , who used to attend various meetings as a representative of Muhammad. He was also remembered by the titles of Khatib-ul-Ansar and Khatib-e-Rasool-e-Karim. ==References==
