Hadith 27554
حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ , عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ , عَنْ
عَلْقَمَةَ , قَالَ : قَدِمْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ , فَأَتَانَا
أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ , فَقَالَ : أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيَّ قِرَاءَةَ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؟ فَأَشَارُوا إِلَيَّ , قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ أَنَا , فَقَالَ : كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى , وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى سورة الليل آية 1 - 2 ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ :
" وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى , وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى , وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى " , قَالَ : وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَؤُهَا , وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ : وَمَا خَلَقَ , فَلَا أُتَابِعُهُمْ .
Alqamah says that once I prayed two rak'ahs in the Grand Mosque of Damascus, Syria, and prayed for good company. There I met Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked me, "Where are you from?" I replied, "I am from the people of Kufa." He said, "Do you recite the Holy Qur'an according to the recitation of Ibn Mas'ud?" I said, "Yes!" He said, "Recite Surah Al-Lail for me." I recited it in that way. He said, "I heard the Prophet reciting it in this manner. These people want me to recite 'wa ma khalaqa', but I will not accept what they say."
Hadith 27555
