It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), who met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was fifteen years old during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), on the authority of Ubayy bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him), that the fatwa which people mention—that ghusl becomes obligatory upon ejaculation—was a concession that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given in the early days of Islam. Later, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to perform ghusl.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), with reference to Ubayy bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him), that a person asked about the mosque which was founded on piety, so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It refers to my mosque.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) with reference to Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the Quranic verse "And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they deliver their burdens" — is this ruling for the woman who has been given three divorces or for the one whose husband has died? The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: This ruling is for both.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once he and Har bin Qais Fazari had a difference of opinion regarding the companion of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) to whom he had requested permission from Allah to travel and meet. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was of the opinion that he was Hazrat Khidr (peace be upon him). Meanwhile, Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) happened to pass by. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) called out to him and said, "My companion and I have differed regarding the identity of the companion of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) whom he requested to travel and meet. Have you heard anything from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this?" He replied, "Yes! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Once Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) was addressing a gathering of Bani Israel when a man stood up and asked him, 'Is there anyone more knowledgeable than you?' Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) replied, 'No.' Upon this, Allah revealed to him that 'Our servant Khidr is more knowledgeable than you.' Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) asked how he could meet him, so Allah made a fish a sign for him and said, 'When you do not find the fish, return, for there you will meet him.' Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) set out on the journey, and at one place he stopped and said to his servant, 'Bring our breakfast, for we have faced much hardship in this journey.' There Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) found the fish missing, so both of them retraced their footsteps and returned, and then that incident occurred which Allah has mentioned in His Book."

Ibn Mus'ab said in his narration: "So he stopped at a place, and Musa said to his servant: 'Bring us our food, for we have certainly suffered fatigue from this journey of ours.' It was then that he noticed the fish was missing, so they retraced their steps, following their tracks. Musa began to follow the trace of the fish in the sea. He said: And what happened between them is as Allah has related in His Book."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Famine has consumed us." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Which tribe do you belong to?" Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) kept inquiring about his lineage until he recognized him and found out that he was actually well-off financially. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Even if a person has one or two valleys full of wealth, he will still seek a third." Upon this, Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) added, "The belly of the son of Adam is only filled with dust, then Allah turns with mercy to the one who repents." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "From whom did you hear this?" He replied, "From Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him)." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Come to me tomorrow." When Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reached his mother, Hazrat Umm al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with her), he mentioned this incident to her. She said, "What was the need for you to speak in front of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?" Now Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) became apprehensive that perhaps Hazrat Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) might have forgotten it, but his mother reassured him, saying, "I hope he has not forgotten it." So, the next day, when Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reached Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), there was a whip lying near him. We both set out towards Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) came out, having performed fresh ablution. He said, "I was afflicted with 'madhi' (pre-seminal fluid), so I only washed my private part (and performed ablution)." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Is this permissible?" He replied, "Yes." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Did you hear this from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes." Then Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked about the statement of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he also confirmed it.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "What does Ibn Abbas say?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me in this way." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Shall I write it down?" He replied, "Yes." So he wrote it down.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Commander of the Faithful! I have received the Holy Qur'an freshly from the one who received it from Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him)."
