Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5058 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by along
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَرَّ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ يُصَلِّي فَافْتَتَحَ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ ، فَسَجَلَهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ ، فَلْيَقْرَأْ قِرَاءَةَ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ .
ثُمَّ قَعَدَ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : سَلْ تُعْطَهْ ، فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَسْأَلُ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ ، وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ ، وَمُرَافَقَةَ نَبِيِّنَا - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ ، فَأَتَى عُمَرُ لِيُبَشِّرَهُ بِهَا ، فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَارِجًا قَدْ سَبَقَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ فَعَلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسَبَّاقٌ بِالْخَيْرِ .
ثُمَّ قَعَدَ ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : سَلْ تُعْطَهْ ، فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَسْأَلُ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ ، وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ ، وَمُرَافَقَةَ نَبِيِّنَا - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ ، فَأَتَى عُمَرُ لِيُبَشِّرَهُ بِهَا ، فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَارِجًا قَدْ سَبَقَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ فَعَلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسَبَّاقٌ بِالْخَيْرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by along with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), while Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was praying. He began reciting Surah al-Nisa and recited it very fluently and beautifully. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever would love to recite the Qur'an fresh, just as it was revealed, should recite according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd (Abdullah bin Mas'ud)." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) sat (to supplicate in the prayer) and began to supplicate, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began saying: "Ask, and you will be given." So among what he asked for in his supplication was: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka imanan la yartadd, wa na'iman la yanfad, wa murafaqata nabiyyina (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) fi a'la jannatil-khuld' (O Allah, I ask You for faith that never departs, a blessing that never ends, and the companionship of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the highest level of the Garden of Eternity). Afterwards Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to give him this good news, and found Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) coming out from there, having reached him first and outstripped him. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)): "If you have done this good deed, then you are indeed always the foremost in racing to good works."
