3898. Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "Indeed Allāh has ordered me to recite the Qur'an to you." So he recited to him: "Those who disbelieved were not going to..."[1] and he recited in it: "Indeed the religion with Allāh is that which is Hanifiyyah, Muslim, not Judaism, nor Christianity, nor Zoroastrian, whoever does good then it shall not be rejected from him." And he recited to him: "If the son of Ādam had a valley of wealth he would seek a second, and if he had a second he would seek a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Ādam except dirt. And Allāh pardons those who repent."[2] (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ and it has been reported from routes other than this. 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abzā reported from his father from Ubayy bin Ka'b, that the Prophet ﷺ said to Ubayy bin Ka'b [may Allāh be pleased with him]: "Indeed, Allāh has ordered me to recite to you the Qur'an." And Qatādah reported from Anas, that the Prophet ﷺ said to Ubayy [bin Ka'b]: "Indeed Allāh Most High ordered that I recite the Qur'an to you."
