English translation

2934. Ibn 'Abbās narrated from 'Ubayy bin Ka'b that the Prophet ﷺ recited: "Fī 'Aīnīn Ĥamī'ah."[4] (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb we do not know of it except through this route. What is correct is what has been reported about Ibn 'Abbās' recitation. It has been reported that Ibn 'Abbās and 'Amr bin Al-'Āṣ disagreed over the recitation of this Āyah and they went to ask Ka'b Al-Aḥbār about that. So if he had a narration about that from the Prophet ﷺ, then there would be no need for his narration, nor to ask Ka'b.

Arabic text

٢٩٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَعْدِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ ، عَنْ ‌مِصْدَعٍ أَبِي يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ ‌أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَرَأَ {فِي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ}» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قِرَاءَتُهُ، وَيُرْوَى أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ اخْتَلَفَا فِي قِرَاءَةِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَارْتَفَعَا إِلَى كَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَلَوْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ رِوَايَةٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَاسْتَغْنَى بِرِوَايَتِهِ وَلَمْ يَحْتَجْ إِلَى كَعْبٍ.

Commentary

One pronunciation of this word is 'Ain nin Hā-mi-yah' and the other 'Ain-nin Hāmi'ah'; Hā-mi-yah means hot, and Hāmi'ah is black mud. Ka'b was a great and prominent successor, who was very knowledgeable in the Torah.
