And on the authority of Ubayy ibn Ka’b that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, led the people in prayer, so he left out a verse and said: “Which of you took something from my recitation from me?” My father said: “O Messenger of God, I left such-and-such verse.” The Prophet said: “I knew if someone took it from me, it was you”

They said: This is the master of the Muslims, Ubayy ibn Ka`b

Ubayy ibn Ka`b said: “O Messenger of God, I pray for you the most, so how much should I make for you in my prayers?” He, peace be upon him, said: “Whatever you want, and if you increase, it is better.” He said: “A quarter?” He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whatever you want, and if you increase, it is better.” He said: “Should I make half?” He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whatever you want, and if you increase, it is better.” He said: “Two-thirds?” He, peace be upon him, said: “Whatever you want, and if you increase, it is better.
” He said: “I make all my prayers for you?” He, peace be upon him, said: “Then your concern will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven And after the Messenger’s transfer to the Supreme Companion, my father remained on his covenant in worshiping him and the strength of his religion, and he always reminded Muslims of the days of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and said: “We were with the Messenger and our faces were one, but when he left us our faces changed to the right and to the left” and about the world he talks and says: “The food of the son of Adam He set an example for the world,
so if his salt and his slander, then look at what happens? And when the Islamic state expanded and he saw the Muslims complimenting their rulers, he sent his warning words: “They perished, by the Lord of the Kaaba, they perished and they perished. As for me, I do not grieve for them, but I grieve for those among the Muslims who perish.” What he feared most was that a day would come upon the Muslims when the violence of their children among them would become severe

We said: “We are only in your place.” He said: “Do not do that. I see so-and-so?
