Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1587 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَصْفَرِ قَالَ : نَا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ الْأَكْبَرُ قَالَ : نَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَعْنٍ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ . عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ I " ، فَقُلْتُ : أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ ، وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي ، فَافْتَتَحْتُ ، فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ ، حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ : فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاءِ شَهِيدًا فَاغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَأَمْسَكْتُ ، فَقَالَ لِي : I " سَلْ تُعْطَهْ I " . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ إِلَّا أَبَانُ ، وَلَا عَنْ أَبَانَ إِلَّا الْقَاسِمُ ، وَلَا عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ إِلَّا بِشْرٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : ابْنُ الْأَصْفَرِ I " . كذا في طبعة دار الحرمين ، والصواب : ( أبان بن تغلب ) كما في المعجم الصغير للمصنف ، والله أعلم
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'Recite (the Qur'an) to me.' I said: Shall I recite to you, when it was revealed to you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, I love to hear it from someone other than myself.' So I began (the recitation) and recited Surah al-Nisa' until, when I reached this verse: 'So how will it be when We bring from every nation a witness, and bring you as a witness over these?', the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) overflowed (with tears), so I stopped. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'Ask (Allah whatever you wish); it will be given to you.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Fudayl except Aban, no one from Aban except al-Qasim, and no one from al-Qasim except Bishr, while Ibn al-Asfar is alone in narrating it."
In the Dar al-Haramayn printed edition it is recorded like this (Aban bin Tha'labah), while the correct name is Aban bin Taghlib, as mentioned in the author's book al-Mu'jam al-Saghir. And Allah knows best.
