Sahih al-Bukhari 4961 (Book 65, Hadith 483) #4743
Mentioned By Name in Divine Revelation

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was commanded by Allah to recite the Qur'an to Ubai bin Ka'b, who was overwhelmed with emotion upon learning that he had been mentioned by name in the divine revelation.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Prophet said to Ubai bin Ka'b, "Allah has ordered me to recite Qur'an to you". Ubai said, "Did Allah mention me by name to you?" The Prophet said, "Yes". Ubai said, "Have I been mentioned by the Lord of the Worlds?" The Prophet said, "Yes". Then Ubai burst into tears.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْمُنَادِي، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ لأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُقْرِئَكَ الْقُرْآنَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ آللَّهُ سَمَّانِي لَكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَدْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ‏.‏
