Musnad Abi Ya'la 194 — a man came to Sayyiduna Umar while he was
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ ، وَالْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ ، وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، جِئْتُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ وَتَرَكْتُ رَجُلًا يُمْلِي الْمَصَاحِفَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبِهِ ، قَالَ : فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ وَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ شُعْبَتَيِ الرَّحْلِ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ، مَنْ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَمَا زَالَ عُمَرُ يُطْفِئُ وَيَسْتُرُ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبَ حَتَّى عَادَ إِلَى حَالِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَكَ ! وَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُهُ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَزَالُ يَسْمُرُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ اللَّيْلَةَ كَذَلِكَ فِي أَمْرٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَإِنَّهُ سَمَرَ عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي وَنَحْنُ نَمْشِي مَعَهَ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ ، فَلَمَّا كِدْنَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَ الرَّجُلَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ رَطْبًا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ ، فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ يَدْعُو ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : سَلْ تُعْطَهْ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : فَقُلْتُ : وَاللهِ لَأَغْدُوَنَّ إِلَيْهِ فَلَأُبَشِّرَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ ، فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَبَشَّرَهُ ، وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا سَابَقْتُهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Qays bin Marwan (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was at Arafah, and said: "O Commander of the Believers! I have come from Kufah, and I have left there a man who dictates copies of the Qur'an from his memory." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and swelled up (with indignation) so much that he almost filled the space between the two wooden posts of the camel saddle. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Woe to you! Who is he?" He said: "He is Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then the anger of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to cool, and he kept concealing the traces of his anger until he returned to his former state, and he said: "Woe to you! By Allah, I do not know of anyone left among the people who is more entitled to this position than he is. I will tell you something about this: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sit with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) at night to discuss some matter of the Muslims. One night he (peace and blessings be upon him) was engaged in conversation with him, and I was with him too. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, and we began to walk with him. Suddenly there was a man standing in the mosque praying, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood listening to his recitation. When we were about to recognise the man, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh, just as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud).' Then the man sat down and began to supplicate, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began saying: 'Ask, and you will be given.'" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: By Allah! Tomorrow morning I will certainly go to him to give him this good news. So I went to him early in the morning to give him the good news, and found that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had got there before me and had already given him the good news. "By Allah! Never did I try to outstrip him in any good deed but that he had always done it before me."
