Arabic (Original)
قَالَ ابْنُ حَزْمٍ وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَى أُمَّتِي خَمْسِينَ صَلَاةً قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ بِذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَمُرَّ عَلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَقَالَ مَاذَا فَرَضَ رَبُّكَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ قُلْتُ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسِينَ صَلَاةً فَقَالَ لِي مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَرَاجَعْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَوَضَعَ شَطْرَهَا فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَرَاجَعْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ هِيَ خَمْسٌ وَهِيَ خَمْسُونَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَيَّ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَقَالَ رَاجِعْ رَبَّكَ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِي حَتَّى أَتَى بِي سِدْرَةَ الْمُنْتَهَى قَالَ فَغَشِيَهَا أَلْوَانٌ مَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا جَنَابِذُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَإِذَا تُرَابُهَا الْمِسْكُ هَذَا آخِرُ مُسْنَدِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ.
English Translation
Ibn Hazm and Anas ibn Malik said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, made fifty prayers obligatory upon my nation." He said: "I went back with that until I passed by Moses, peace be upon him, and he said: 'What has your Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, made obligatory upon your nation?' I said: 'He made fifty prayers obligatory upon them.' Moses, peace be upon him, said to me: 'Go back to your Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, for your nation will not be able to bear that.' So I went back to my Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He, and He removed half of it. I went back to Moses and told him, and he said: 'Go back to your Lord, for your nation will not be able to bear that.' So I went back to my Lord, Mighty and Majestic is He, and He said: 'They are five, and they are [in reward] fifty; the word does not change with Me.' So I went back to Moses, peace be upon him, and he said: 'Go back to your Lord.' I said: 'I feel too shy before my Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, [to ask again].'" He said: "Then I was taken onward until I was brought to the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary (Sidrat al-Muntaha), and it was overspread with colors I do not know how to describe. Then I was brought into Paradise, and there I saw domes of pearl, and its soil was musk." This is the end of the Musnad of Ubayy ibn Ka'b, may Allah, Exalted is He, be pleased with him.
