حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ تَبَارَكَ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ. فَذَكَّرَنَا بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَوْ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَغْمِزُنِي. فَقَالَ: مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ. إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا إِلاَّ الآنَ ‏.‏ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ، أَنِ اسْكُتْ. فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا قَالَ: سَأَلْتُكَ مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ فَلَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي؟ فَقَالَ أُبَىٌّ: لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْ صَلاَتِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلاَّ مَا لَغَوْتَ‏.‏ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أُبَىٌّ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ صَدَقَ أُبَىٌّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muharriz ibn Salamah al-Adani narrated to us: Abd al-Aziz ibn Muhammad al-Darawardi narrated to us, from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Namir, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Ubayy ibn Kab: The Messenger of Allah recited Tabarak—the surah beginning with that word—on a Friday while standing, and reminded us of the Days of Allah. Abu al-Darda or Abu Dharr nudged me and said, When was this surah revealed? I have heard it only now. I gestured to him to be quiet. When they had left, he said, I asked you when this surah was revealed, but you did not tell me. Ubayy said, You have nothing from your prayer today except the idle talk you engaged in. He went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about it and what Ubayy had said. The Messenger of Allah said, Ubayy spoke the truth.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The surah is called Tabarak in the source; it is rendered by that opening word, with its common identification as Surah al-Mulk given only as a gloss. The narrator is unsure whether Abu al-Darda or Abu Dharr nudged him.
