حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَكَانَ قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ مِنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ صَاحِبِ الشُّرَطِ مِنْ الْأَمِيرِقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَعْنِي مِمَّا يَلِي مِنْ أُمُورِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ قَوْلَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ

Narrated to us [Muhammad bin Marzuq Al Bashri], narrated to us [Muhammad bin Abdullah Al Anshari], narrated to me [my father] from [Tsumamah] from [Anas], he said: 'The status of Qais bin Sa'd with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was like the status of a vanguard (a fearless group ready to die) with a commander.' [Al Anshari] said: 'That is because he always carried out the mandates of the Prophet.' Abu Isa said: 'This hadith is a hasan gharib hadith, we only know it from the hadith of Al Anshari. Narrated to us [Muhammad bin Yahya], narrated to us [Muhammad bin Abdullah Al Anshari] like the hadith above, but he did not mention the statement of Al Anshari in the hadith.'
