Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1298 — to al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ خُبَيْقٍ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْمُقْرِئُ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِلْأَعْمَشِ : I " إِنَّهُمْ يُنْكِرُونَ عَلَيْنَا قِرَاءَةَ حَرْفَيْنِ : مَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُصْرِخِيِّ وَحَرْفٌ آخَرُ I " قَالَ : أَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الْأَعْمَشِ ، وَأَنَّ الْأَعْمَشَ قَرَأَ عَلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ ، وَأَنَّ يَحْيَى قَرَأَهُ عَلَى عَلْقَمَةَ ، وَأَنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ قَرَأَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ ، وَأَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ قَرَأَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ، فَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ مِثْلُ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَلَيْهِ ( ..... ) . يَأْتُونَ .
Hamzah al-Zayyat (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I said to al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him): "Those people criticise us over two readings (qira'at): one is 'ma antum bi-musrikhiyyi' (you are not my helpers), and another reading." He said: "Tell them that I read to al-A'mash, and al-A'mash read to Yahya bin Waththab (may Allah have mercy on him), and Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) read it to Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him), and Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) read to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) read to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So whoever has a chain like this, let him bring it forward."
