2773. 'Abdullāh bin Ka'b said: "I heard Ka'b bin Mālik saying: 'Whenever the Prophet ﷺ arrived from a journey he would start with the Masjid; he would pray two Rak'ahs, and then sit to receive people.'" (The narrator) Ibn As-Sarh then narrated rest of the Hadīth. — "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade the Muslims from talking to the three of us. After substantial time elapsed I ascended the wall of Abū Qatādah — who was my paternal cousin, and gave him Salām. By Allāh! He did not return my Salām. When I performed the Subh prayer on the morning of the fiftieth night on the roof of one of our houses, I heard a caller saying: 'O Ka'b bin Mālik! Receive the good news!' When the man whose voice I heard with the good news came to me, I took off my garments and clothed him with them, then I went on until I entered the Majid and saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sitting. Talhah bin 'Ubaidullāh stood up and came hastily towards me,
shook my hands and congratulated me.” (Sahīh)
