Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32310 — The Prophet (peace and blessings be)

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) 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 the Qur'an was revealed to you?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I wish to hear the Qur'an from someone other than myself." Abdullah said: So I recited Surah al-Nisa before him (peace and blessings be upon him), until I reached this verse: "Then how will it be (with those people) when We bring from every nation a witness, and bring you (O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)) as a witness over these?" [Al-Nisa: 41] I raised my head, or a man beside me nudged my side and I raised my head, and I saw tears flowing from both of his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes.
