Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: We were with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and Ziyad bin Hudayr (may Allah have mercy on him) was also with us, when Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us and asked: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, do all these people recite the way you recite?" He said: "If you wish, I will order one of them to recite to you." So he said to me: "Recite." Then Ziyad bin Hudayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said to him: "Are you ordering him to recite when he is not the best reciter among us?" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If you wish, I will tell you what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about your people and his people." Then I recited fifty verses of Surah Maryam to him, and Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Enough, that is sufficient for you."
