[The text is lengthy, so the pertinent portion is excerpted]

20677 - .... 'Affan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, 'Asim ibn Bahdalah informed us, from Zirr ibn Hubaysh who said: I said to Ubayy ibn Ka'b: Ibn Mas'ud did not write the two chapters of seeking refuge (Al-Mu'awwidhatayn) in his Mushaf, so he (Ubayy) replied: I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) informed me that Jibril (peace be upon him) said to him: Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak" (Al-Falaq: 1), so I said it, and he said: Say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind" (An-Nas: 1), so I said it. Thus, we say as the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said. 'Affan narrated to us, Abu 'Awanah narrated to us from 'Asim from Zirr from Ubayy, from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) similarly.

Musnad al-Ansar - Hadith of Zirr ibn Hubaysh from Ubayy ibn Ka'b  

20697 - Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Hajjaj narrated to us, they said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Asim ibn Bahdalah, from Zirr ibn Hubaysh, from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: Verily, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, commanded me to recite the Qur'an to you. He (Ubayy) said: So he recited: *Those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture* (Al-Bayyina: 1) and he recited within it, "If the son of Adam were to ask for a valley of wealth and was given it, he would ask for a second, and if he were given that, he would ask for a third, and nothing would fill the belly of the son of Adam except dust. Yet Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents. And indeed, the upright religion with Allah is the Hanifiyyah (pure monotheism) that is neither associating others with Allah nor Judaism nor Christianity. And whoever does good shall not have it denied."

20698 - ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Umar al-Qawariri narrated to me, saying: Salm ibn Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Shu’bah narrated to us, from ‘Asim ibn Bahdalah, from Zirr, from Ubayy ibn Ka’b, who said: The Messenger of Allah (S) said to me: “Allah, Blessed and Exalted, commanded me to recite to you.” Then he recited to me: ‘Those who disbelieve from the People of the Book and the polytheists were not to depart until there came to them clear evidence, a messenger from Allah reciting purified scriptures, wherein are correct writings. And those who were given the Book did not split until after the clear proof came to them’ (98:1-4). “The religion with Allah is the upright path, neither associating with others nor adhering to Judaism or Christianity, and whoever does good will not be denied it.” Shu’bah said: Then he recited other verses after that, and then he recited: “If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would ask for a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust.” He said: Then he concluded with something.

20701 - ‘Abdullah narrated to us, saying: Wahb ibn Baqiyyah narrated to me, saying: Khalid ibn Abdullah al-Tahhan informed us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from Zirr ibn Hubaysh, from Ubayy ibn Ka’b, who said: “How many verses do you recite in Surah al-Ahzab?” He said: “A little over seventy verses.” He replied: “I had recited it with the Messenger of Allah (S), and it was like Surah al-Baqarah or even longer than it, and it included the verse of stoning.”

20702 - ‘Abdullah narrated to us, saying: Khalaf ibn Hisham narrated to us, saying: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from ‘Asim ibn Bahdalah, from Zirr, who said: Ubayy ibn Ka’b said to me: “How many verses do you read in Surah al-Ahzab, or how many do you count it as?” I said to him: Seventy-three verses. He said: “That is all? I had seen it, and it was equal to Surah al-Baqarah, and we used to read in it: ‘The mature man and the mature woman, if they commit adultery, stone them absolutely as a deterrent from Allah; and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.’”

24922 - He said: I read to ‘Abd al-Rahman: Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn Hakim, from Abu Yunus, the servant of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (S), that he said: Aisha ordered me to write a copy of the Quran for her. She said: “When you reach this verse, inform me: ‘Guard strictly the prayers, especially the middle prayer’” (2:238). He said: “When I reached it, I informed her, and she dictated to me: ‘Guard strictly the prayers, especially the middle prayer, and the Asr prayer, and stand devoutly obedient to Allah.’ Then she said: ‘I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (S).’”
