Hadith 11616
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.
Hadith 11617
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي زَيْنَبُ ابْنَةُ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذِهِ الْأَمْرَاضَ الَّتِي تُصِيبُنَا مَا لَنَا بِهَا قَالَ ”كَفَّارَاتٌ“ قَالَ أَبِي وَإِنْ قَلَّتْ قَالَ ”وَإِنْ شَوْكَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا“ قَالَ فَدَعَا أَبِي عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ لَا يُفَارِقَهُ الْوَعْكُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ فِي أَنْ لَا يَشْغَلَهُ عَنْ حَجٍّ وَلَا عُمْرَةٍ وَلَا جِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَمَا مَسَّهُ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَّا وَجَدَ حَرَّهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): What do you say about the illnesses that befall us? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They become an expiation for sins. My father said: Even if the illness is minor? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if it is a thorn or something greater than that. Upon hearing this, my father supplicated against himself that fever should not leave him until his death, but that the fever should not prevent him from Hajj, Umrah, striving in the way of Allah, or performing obligatory prayers in congregation. After that, whoever touched my father would feel the heat of the fever, until he passed away.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him): Allah has commanded me to recite Surah Al-Bayyina before you. Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Did Allah mention my name before you? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) replied: Yes. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep.
Hadith 11619
عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ أُبَيًّا قَالَ لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي تَلَقَّيْتُ الْقُرْآنَ مِمَّنْ تَلَقَّاهُ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مِمَّنْ يَتَلَقَّاهُ مِنْ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَهُوَ رَطْبٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): O Commander of the Faithful! I have heard and learned the Noble Qur'an directly from the one who received it from Jibreel (peace be upon him), while it was still fresh.

عَنْ الْجَارُودِ بْنِ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَتَرَكَ آيَةً فَقَالَ ”أَيُّكُمْ أَخَذَ عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا مِنْ قِرَاءَتِي“ فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَرَكْتَ آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”قَدْ عَلِمْتُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ أَخَذَهَا عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ هُوَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer and, by mistake, omitted a verse. Afterwards, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did any of you notice my mistake in the recitation?" Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I realized it; you left out such-and-such verse." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I knew that if anyone would notice it, it would be you."
Hadith 11621
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ أُبَيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلَهُ ”أَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَعْظَمُ“ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَرَدَّدَهَا مِرَارًا ثُمَّ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ قَالَ ”لِيَهْنِكَ الْعِلْمُ أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ لَهَا لِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ تُقَدِّسُ الْمَلِكَ عِنْدَ سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Which verse in the Book of Allah is the greatest in rank? He replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. But when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the question several times, Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is Ayat al-Kursi. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu al-Mundhir! May this knowledge be blessed for you. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, this verse has a tongue and two lips, and it glorifies and sanctifies Allah near the foot of Allah's Throne.
