Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Al-Ajlaḥ corroborated the report, transmitting it from ʿAbd Allah on the authority of his father.

Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā ibn al-Ṭabbāʿ said: Muʿādh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ubayy ibn Kaʿb narrated to us, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ubayy:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “O Abū al-Mundhir! I have been commanded to present the Quran to you.”
I replied, “I believe in Allah, I embraced Islam at your hand, and it was from you that I learned.”
He repeated the statement, so I asked, “O Messenger of Allah, was I mentioned there?”
He said, “Yes—your very name and lineage—in the Highest Assembly.”
I said, “Then recite, O Messenger of Allah.” (1)

Abū Ḥātim al-Rāzī also transmitted it from Ibn al-Ṭabbāʿ, who said: “Muʿādh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muʿādh ibn Ubayy narrated to us….”

Sufyān reported—through al-Aʿmash, from Abū Wāʾil, from Masrūq—on the authority of ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr, as a marfūʿ hadith:
“Learn the Quran from four: Ibn Masʿūd, Ubayy, Muʿādh, and Sālim, the freedman of Abū Ḥudhayfa.” (2)

Abū Dāwūd recorded—through the tradition of Ibn ʿUmar—that the Prophet ﷺ once led a prayer and became unsure of the recitation. When he finished he said to Ubayy, “Did you pray with us?”
He answered, “Yes.”
He said, “Then what kept you from correcting me?” (3)

(1) Muadh and his father are considered trustworthy only by Ibn Hibban. The report is found in Abu Nuaym, Hilyat al-awliya, 1/252, and in al-Tabarani, al-Kabir, no. 539. Al-Haythami cites it in Majma al-zawaid, 9/312, attributing it to al-Tabarani’s al-Awsat through several chains, … but he does not list it under al-Kabir. (2) Related by al-Bukhari, nos. 3758 (Book of Merits, “The virtues of Salim, the freedman of Abu Hudhayfa”), 3760, 3806, 3808 (Merits of the Ansar), and 4999 (Merits of the Quran, “Those who recited the Quran among the Companions”); by al-Hakim, 3/225, who declared it sahih, a judgment endorsed by al-Dhahabi; by Abu Nuaym, Hilyat al-awliya, 1/176; and by al-Fasawi, al-Maʿrifa wa-l-tarikh, 2/537-538 through two routes. See also Majma al-zawaid, 9/311. (3) Reported by Abu Dawud, no. 907 (Book of Prayer, chapter “Prompting the imam”); the chain is sound. Al-Khattabi explained that the phrase means: “Why did you not prompt me when you saw that confusion had affected me?” The hadith proves the permissibility of correcting the imam during prayer.
تَابَعَهُ: الأَجْلَحُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ. مُحَمَّدُ بنُ عِيْسَى بنِ الطَّبَّاعِ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بنُ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ أُبَيِّ بنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أُبَيٍّ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ: (يَا أَبَا المُنْذِرِ! إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْرِضَ عَلَيْكَ القُرْآنَ) . فَقُلْتُ: بِاللهِ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَى يَدِكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَمِنْكَ تَعَلَّمْتُ. فَرَدَّ القَوْلَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ! وَذُكِرْتُ هُنَاكَ؟ قَالَ: (نَعَمْ، بِاسْمِكَ وَنَسَبِكَ فِي المَلأِ الأَعْلَى) . قُلْتُ: اقْرَأْ إِذَنْ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ (١) . وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ: أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الطَّبَّاعِ، فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بنُ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ مُعَاذِ بنِ أُبَيٍّ. سُفْيَانُ: عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوْقٍ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ عَمْرٍو مَرْفُوْعاً: (اسْتَقْرِئُوا القُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ: مِنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُوْدٍ، وَأُبَيٍّ، وَمُعَاذٍ، وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ (٢)) . وَأَخْرَجَ: أَبُو دَاوُدَ مِنْ حَدِيْثِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلاَةً، فَلُبِّسَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ، قَالَ لأُبِيٍّ: (أَصَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا؟) . قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: (فَمَا مَنَعَكَ؟) (٣) .

(٣) أخرجه أبو داود (٩٠٧) في الصلاة: باب الفتح على الامام، وإسناده صحيح، قال الخطابي: أراد: ما منعك أن تفتح علي إذ رأيتني قد لبس علي؟ وفيه دليل على جواز تلقين الامام.
