ahmad:21203ʿAbdullāh > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar al-Qawārīrī > Salam b. Qutaybah > Shuʿbah > ʿĀṣim b. Bahdalah > Zir > Ubay b. Kaʿb

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed Allah has commanded me to recite upon you." He (the Prophet) said, "So recite upon me." He (the reciter) recited upon me, 'Those who disbelieved from the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief] until there came to them clear evidence - a Messenger from Allah, reciting purified scriptures within which are upright writings. Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion.' Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account. Shu'bah said, then he recited after that and he recited, "If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would long for a third, and nothing would satisfy the stomach of the son of Adam except dust. Then he sealed it with the remaining portion of the passage."

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah has commanded me to recite the Qur'an to you." He said: "So he recited, 'Those who disbelieved from the People of the Scripture' [Al-Bayyinah, 1]."

Nothing fills the stomach of the son of Adam except dust. And Allah forgives those who repent.' And indeed, this religion is upright with Allah - the Hanif faith, which is not associated with polytheism, nor Judaism, nor Christianity. And whoever does good, it will never be negated for him."
