أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَهْلٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثَنَا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ جُنْدُبٍ قَالَ

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ لِأَطْلُبَ الْعِلْمَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ وَالنَّاسُ مُجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا هَذَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَدَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ فَضَرَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَابَ فَخَرَجَ فَزَبَرَنِي وَكَهَرَنِي فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُ الْقِبْلَةَ فَقُلْتُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَشْكُوهُمْ إِلَيْكَ نُنْفِقُ نَفَقَاتِنَا وَنُتْعِبُ أَبْدَانَنَا وَنُرَحِّلُ مَطَايَانَا ابْتِغَاءَ الْعِلْمِ فَإِذَا لَقِينَاهُمْ كَرِهُونَا» فَقَالَ لَئِنْ أَخَّرْتَنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ لَأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا أَخَافُ فِيهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ غَدَوْتُ فَإِذَا الطُّرُقُ غَاصَّةٌ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالُوا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَالُوا مَاتَ سَيِّدُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ

✧ I came to Madinah seeking knowledge. I entered the mosque and found a man with people gathered around him. I said: Who is this? They said: This is Ubay b. Ka'b. I followed him, and he entered his house. I knocked on the door, and he came out and rebuked me and glared at me. I faced the qibla and said: "O Allah, we complain about them to You. We spend our provisions, weary our bodies, and drive our mounts seeking knowledge, but when we meet them, they dislike us." He said: If you give me until Friday, I will certainly speak with what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, not fearing therein the blame of any blamer. When Thursday came, I went out early, and the streets were crowded. I said: What is the matter with the people today? They said: It seems you are a stranger. I said: Yes. They said: The master of the Muslims, Ubay b. Ka'b, has died.
