Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15551

وَعَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، جِئْتُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ وَتَرَكْتُ بِهَا رَجُلًا يُمْلِي الْمَصَاحِفَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبٍ . قَالَ : فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ ، وَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ شُعْبَتَيِ الرَّحْلِ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ! مَنْ هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ : عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَمَا زَالَ عُمَرُ يُطْفِئُ وَيُسَرِّي عَنْهُ الْغَضَبَ حَتَّى عَادَ إِلَى حَالِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ! وَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْلَمُهُ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَا يَزَالُ يَسْمُرُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ اللَّيْلَةَ كَذَلِكَ لِأَمْرٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَإِنَّهُ سَمَرَ عِنْدِهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَمْشِي وَنَحْنُ نَمْشِي مَعَهُ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ ، فَلَمَّا كِدْنَا نَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ رَطْبًا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ " . قَالَ : ثُمَّ جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ يَدْعُو ، فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " سَلْ تُعْطَهُ " . قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَقُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَعُودَنَّ إِلَيْهِ فَلَأُبَشِّرَنَّهُ . قَالَ : فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ ، فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي فَبَشَّرَهُ ، فَلَا وَاللَّهِ مَا سَابَقْتُهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ .
Qays bin Marwan narrates: A man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was at Arafah and said: O Commander of the Faithful, I have come from Kufah, and I left there a man who dictates the Qur'an from memory. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry, intensely angry. He asked: Woe to you, who is that man? The man replied: He is Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrator says: Then the anger of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to cool, and when he had returned to the state he was in before, he said: Woe to you! By Allah, as far as I know, there is no one left among the people who has more right to this than he does, and I will tell you about that. It was the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to sit with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and talk at night about some matter of the Muslims. One night he (peace and blessings be upon him) was talking with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was there with him too. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of the house, and we came walking with him, and there was a man standing in the mosque praying. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood listening to his recitation, and just as we were about to recognize the man, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wishes to recite the Qur'an exactly as it was revealed should recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd (that is, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Then the man sat down and began to supplicate, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down and began saying: Ask, and you will be given! Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I thought: By Allah, tomorrow I will certainly go to this man and give him the glad tidings. He says: When I went to him the next morning to give him the glad tidings, I found that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had already given him the glad tidings before me. By Allah, whatever good deed I tried to compete with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in, he had always got ahead of me in it.
