صَالِحٌ الْمُرِّيُّ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ:
"كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَقْرَأُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّصَدَ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَتْمِهِ، قَامَ فَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ".
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A person was reciting (the Qur'an) in the mosque of Madinah Munawwarah. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) appointed a man to wait for him. When he was informed that the recitation of the Qur'an had been completed, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) got up and went to him. (That is, he joined the reciter to participate in the completion of the Qur'an. From this, the virtue of attending the completion of the Qur'an is known.)
