Hadith of Abu Al-Mundhir Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him)

مُسْنَدُ الْأَنْصَارِ، حَدِيثُ أَبِي الْمُنْذِرِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ (١) " مِمَّا رَوَاهُ عَنْهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " "، ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، فِيمَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا: أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالكِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ "، ٢١٠٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: "عَلِيٌّ أَقْضَانَا، وَأُبَيٌّ أَقْرَؤُنَا، وَإِنَّا لَنَدَعُ كَثِيرًا مِنْ لَحْنِ أُبَيٍّ "، وَأُبَيٌّ، يَقُولُ: "سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَا أَدَعُهُ لِشَيْءٍ، وَاللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا} (١) [البقرة: ١٠٦] "، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ali is the greatest judge among us, and Ubayy is the greatest reciter among us. And we leave many things in Ubayy's recitation." And Ubayy says: "I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say this, so I cannot leave it." And Allah Almighty says: "Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or similar to it."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي حَبِيبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: "عَلِيٌّ أَقْضَانَا، وَأُبَيٌّ أَقْرَؤُنَا، وَإِنَّا لَنَدَعُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أُبَيٍّ ". وَأُبَيٌّ يَقُولُ: "أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فَمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَا أَدَعُهُ، وَاللهُ يَقُولُ: {مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا} (١) [البقرة: ١٠٦] "،

And we leave many things in Ubayy's recitation." And Ubayy says: "I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say this, so I cannot leave it." And Allah Almighty says: "Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or similar to it."

حَدَّثَنِا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا، ،

It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), while delivering a sermon from the pulpit, said: "Ali is the greatest judge among us, and Ubayy is the greatest reciter among us. And we leave many things in the recitation of Ubayy, and Ubayy says: 'I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say this, so I cannot leave it,' even though the Qur'an continued to be revealed after that."
