Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him)
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 11616 — on What Has Been Reported Regarding Ubayy
عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”يَا أُبَيُّ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ سُورَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا“ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ ذُكِرْتُ هُنَاكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ فَفَرِحْتَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي وَاللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ {قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ} قَالَ مُؤَمَّلٌ قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ هَذِهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ نَعَمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Ubayy! I have been commanded by Allah Almighty to recite such-and-such Surah before you. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Has my name been mentioned in the presence of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. Abdullah bin Abza said to Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Mundhir! Were you pleased upon hearing this? He said: Why should I not be pleased, when Allah Almighty Himself has said: {قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّٰہِ وَبِرَحْمَتِہِ فَبِذٰلِکَ فَلْتَفْرَحُوْا ہُوَ خَیْرٌ مِمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ} … O Prophet! Say to them that they should rejoice in the bounty of Allah and His mercy; that is better than what they accumulate of worldly wealth and possessions. (Since the Mutawatir recitation of the Holy Qur'an is "fal-yafrahu"), it is narrated from Imam Ahmad's shaykh Mu’ammal that I asked my shaykh Sufyan, is this recitation "fal-tafrahu" found in the hadith? He said: Yes.
