Hadith 1338
حَدَّثَنَا
الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَابِطٍ الْجُمَحِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : أَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيْنَ كُنْتِ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : كُنْتُ أَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ، لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَ قِرَاءَتِهِ وَصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ، قَالَتْ : فَقَامَ ، وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى اسْتَمَعَ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ : " هَذَا سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي أُمَّتِي مِثْلَ هَذَا ".
´It was narrated that ‘Aishah the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “One night at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I was late returning from the ‘Isha’, then I came and he said: ‘Where were you?’ I said: ‘I was listening to the recitation of a man among your Companions, for I have never heard a recitation or a voice like his from anyone.’ He got up and I got up with him, to go and listen to him. Then he turned to me and said: ‘This is Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah. Praise is to Allah Who has created such men among my Ummah.’”
