أنبأ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَكَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ، وَبَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، أَنَّ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْقُرَظِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَرَأَى نَاسًا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ يُصَلُّونَ، فَقَالَ: " مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ " قَالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَؤُلَاءِ نَاسٌ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ قُرْآنٌ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ يَقْرَأُ وَهُمْ مَعَهُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ قَالَ: " قَدْ أَحْسَنُوا، أوَ قَدْ أَصَابُوا " ولَمْ يَكْرَهْ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبُ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْحَجْرِيُّ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ: وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ وَنَحْوَهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ حَسَنٌ ثَعْلَبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْقُرَظِيُّ مِنَ الطَّبَقَةِ الْأُولَى مِنْ تَابِعِي أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ ابْنُ مَنْدَهْ فِي الصَّحَابَةِ، وَقِيلَ لَهُ رِوَايَةٌ، وَقِيلَ: سِنُّهُ سِنُّ عَطِيَّةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ أُسِرَا يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَلَمْ يُقْتَلَا وَلَيْسَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بِإِسْنَادٍ مَوْصُولٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ ضَعِيفٌ.
Tha'labah bin Abi Malik al-Qurazi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out one night in Ramadan and saw people praying in a corner of the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What are these people doing?" Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! These are people who do not know the Qur'an by heart, and they were praying with Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They have done well," or he said: "They have done right." And he did not disapprove of it for them.
This is a good (hasan) mursal report. Tha'labah bin Abi Malik al-Qurazi is from the first generation of the Successors of the people of Madinah. Ibn Mandah included him among the Companions; it is said that he has a narration, and it is said that he was of the same age as Atiyyah al-Qurazi, both of whom were captured on the day of Qurayzah and not killed. He was not a Companion. It has also been narrated with a connected chain, but that is weak.

أنبأ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمَذَانِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا أُنَاسٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ يُصَلُّونَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ " فَقِيلَ: هَؤُلَاءِ أُنَاسٌ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ قُرْآنٌ، وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ يُصَلِّي وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَصَابُوا، وَنِعْمَ مَا صَنَعُوا " قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ضَعِيفٌ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and saw some people in Ramadan praying in a corner of the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who are these people?" The people said: These are people who do not know the Qur'an by heart, and they were praying with Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They have done right, and they have done well."

أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فَنْجَوَيْهِ الدَّيْنَوَرِيُّ، ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْكِنْدِيُّ، ثنا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ التَّرْقُفِيُّ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، ثنا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَتْ: عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا: " ⦗٦٩٨⦘ كُنَّا نَأْخُذُ الصِّبْيَانَ مِنَ الْكُتَّابِ؛ لِيَقُومُوا بِنَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَنَعْمَلَ لَهُمُ الْقَلِيَّةَ، وَالْخِشْكِنَانْجَ ".
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We would call the children who were learning to write, so that they would perform the night prayer of the month of Ramadan with us, and then we would prepare roasted meat and halwa for them.
