[['Umar b. Khattab]] referred to Ubayy as "Abu l-Tufayl" because he had a son, called "Tufayl". However, there are some [[hadiths]] in which the Prophet (s) referred to him as "Abu l-Mundhir". According to a hadith, the Prophet (s) gave him the title, "Sayyid al-Ansar" (master of Ansar). He was still alive when Muslims referred to him as "Sayyid al-Muslimin" (master of Muslims). During the [[Age of Ignorance]] when very few Arabs knew how to read and write, Ubayy had learned writing. | [['Umar b. al-Khattab]] referred to Ubayy as "Abu l-Tufayl" because he had a son, called "Tufayl".

In different exegetical works, such as ''[[Majma' al-bayan]]'' by [[al-Tabrisi]] and ''[[Kashf al-asrar]]'' by Maybudi, some hadiths are cited as transmitted by Ubayy b. Ka'b with regard to the virtues of different Qur'anic suras which might have been cited from an essay attributed to Ubayy b. Ka'b under ''Fada'il al-Qur'an'' (the virtues of the Qur'an) referred to by Ibn al-Nadim. Also, a great manuscript on the exegesis of the Qur'an was common in the early centuries of Islam. It was transmitted by Abu Ja'far al-Razi from Rabi' b. Anas from Abu l-'Aliya from Ubayy b. Ka'b. It was consulted by al-Tabari in his exegesis of the Qur'an, Ibn Abi Hatam in his exegesis, [[Ahmad b. Hanbal]] in his ''Musnad'', and [[al-Hakim al-Nishaburi]] in his ''Mustadrak''. | In different exegetical works, such as ''[[Majma' al-bayan]]'' by [[al-Tabrisi]] and ''[[Kashf al-asrar]]'' by Maybudi, some hadiths are cited as transmitted by Ubayy b.

It is difficult to reconcile different accounts of when Ubayy passed away (19/640, 22/642, 33/653-39/659). A number of historians believe that he died in the period of [['Umar b. Khattab]], while some events cited in al-Bukhari's ''al-Tarikh al-saghir'' and al-Hakim al-Nishaburi's ''al-Mustadrak'' imply that he was alive when people started protesting against 'Uthman. On one account, he died one week or ten days before the murder of 'Uthman. | It is difficult to reconcile different accounts of when Ubayy passed away (19/640, 22/642, 33/653-39/659).
