وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا أَمِيرُ مَكَّةَ نَافِعُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ ، وَتَسَمَّى بِنَافِعٍ عَمٍّ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ؟ قَالَ : عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبْزَى . قَالَ : عَمَدْتَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي وَاسْتَخْلَفْتَهُ عَلَى مَنْ بِهَا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ وَجَدْتُهُ أَقْرَأَهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللهِ ، وَمَكَّةُ أَرْضٌ مُحْتَضَرَةٌ ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حَسَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ . فَقَالَ : نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ ، إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبْزَى مِمَّنْ يَرْفَعُهُ اللهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ .
رِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ وَفِيهِ نَظَرٌ ; لِأَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ يَصْغُرُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ .
وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ طَرِيقِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِغَيْرِ هَذَا السِّيَاقِ ، وَفِيهِ الْقِصَّةُ بِالْمَعْنَى . وَقَالَ فِيهِ : فَتَلَقَّاهُ نَافِعُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَهُوَ الْمَحْفُوظُ .

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him): "I set out with Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) for Makkah, and the governor of Makkah, Nafi' bin Alqamah, came out to receive us; he had been named Nafi' after one of his paternal uncles. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: 'Whom have you appointed as your deputy over the people of Makkah?' He said: 'Abd al-Rahman bin Abza.' He said: 'You chose a freed slave (mawla) and made him your deputy over the Quraysh and the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who are there?' He replied: 'Yes, I found him the best reciter of the Book of Allah, and Makkah is a place where people come and gather, so I wanted them to hear the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, from a man with a beautiful recitation.' At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'What an excellent decision you made! Indeed, Abd al-Rahman bin Abza is among those whom Allah Almighty raises through this Qur'an.'"
Its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), but there is a reservation about this chain, because Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla was too young (in age) at that time for this incident.
Imam Muslim narrated it through Imam al-Zuhri, from Abu al-Tufayl, from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), in a different wording, in which the story is given in meaning; and in it (the governor of Makkah) is named Nafi' bin al-Harith al-Khuza'i, and this is the mahfuz (preserved, correct) version.
