Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8392 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَائِشَةَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيُّ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْقَرْثَعِ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، أَوِ ابْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ، فَقَامَ يَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَجَدَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْ مِنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ» ، قَالَ: " فَأَدْلَجْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا ضَرَبْتُ الْبَابَ سَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: جِئْتُ أُبَشِّرُكَ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: سَبَقَكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قُلْتُ: إِنْ يَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّهُ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ، مَا اسْتَبَقْنَا إِلَى خَيْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ "
Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by, with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and me accompanying him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was reciting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) stood listening to his recitation; then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) bowed and prostrated, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever would love to recite the Qur'an just as it was revealed, let him recite (having learned it) from Ibn Umm Abd." (Sayyiduna Umar) said: So I went that very night to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) to tell him what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said. When I knocked on the door, he heard my voice and asked: What has brought you? I said: I have come to give you the glad tiding of what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said. He said: Abu Bakr has already come before you. I said: If he has done so, then he is indeed one who races ahead in good deeds; we never raced towards any good deed except that Abu Bakr always got there before me.
