Sahih Muslim 799a (Book 6, Hadith 292) #9017
Mentioned by Name

SUMMARY: Allah commanded the Prophet to recite the Quran to Ubayy b. Ka'b, who was surprised and moved to tears when he heard that Allah had mentioned his name.

Anas reported Allah's Messenger as saying to Ubayy b. Ka'b: Allah has commanded me to recite the Qur'an to you. He said: Did Allah mention me to you by name? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah made a mention of your name to me. (On hearing this) Ubayy b. Ka'b wept.
حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لأُبَىٍّ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ آللَّهُ سَمَّانِي لَكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ سَمَّاكَ لِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ أُبَىٌّ يَبْكِي

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive hard in faith and devotion towards God

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a special moment between the Prophet Muhammad and Ubayy b. Ka'b, one of his companions. The Prophet was commanded by Allah to recite the Quran to Ubayy b. Ka'b, and when he heard this, he asked if Allah had mentioned him by name. When the Prophet confirmed that He did, Ubayy b. Ka'b wept with emotion at being singled out for such an honor from God Almighty Himself! This hadith teaches us that it is possible for us too to be noticed and remembered by God in our own lives if we strive hard enough in our faith and devotion towards Him. It also shows us how powerful words can be - just hearing that God has taken notice of him was enough for Ubayy b. Ka'b to weep with joy!
