حَدَّثَنَا
زَيْدُ بنُ الْحُباب ، أَخْبرَنِي
مَالِكُ بنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ برَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبيهِ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَأَخَذَ بيَدِي ، فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأُ وَيُصَلِّي ، قَالَ :
" لَقَدْ أُوتِيَ هَذَا مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ آلِ دَاوُدَ " ، وَإِذَا هُوَ عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ قَيْسٍ أَبو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأُخْبرُهُ ؟ قَالَ : فَأَخْبرْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَمْ تَزَلْ لِي صَدِيقًا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and took hold of my hand. I also entered the mosque with him. There was a man reciting the Qur'an and performing prayer. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This person has been given one of the beautiful tones of the family of Dawood (peace be upon him)." When I looked, it was Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I inform him of this?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Inform him." So I informed him, and he said, "You have always been my friend."
