Yahya bin Zakariyya bin Abi al-Hawajib al-Kufi (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I was holding the hand of (Imam) al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him) when he said: "I recited the Qur'an to Yahya bin Waththab (may Allah have mercy on him) thirty times, and every time I recited 'wa al-rujza'. Likewise Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) recited to Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him), Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recited (the Qur'an) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
No one narrated this hadith from al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ibn Abi al-Hawajib (may Allah have mercy on him).
