أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ نَازِلًا عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ رَمَضَانُ بِأَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّا لَمْ نَدَعْ قَارِئًا شَرِيفًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا مَعْرُوفٌ، فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهَذَيْنِ عَلَى نَفَقَةِ شَهْرِكَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: أَقْرِئْ الْأَمِيرَ السَّلَامَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: "إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَرَأْنَا الْقُرْآنَ نُرِيدُ بِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَدِرْهَمَهَا".
Abu Ayas said: I was staying with Amr bin Nu’man when a messenger of Mus’ab bin Zubair came to him during Ramadan with two thousand dirhams and said: The Amir (respected leader) sends you greetings and has ordered that we should not leave any honorable reciter (of the Qur’an) without a gift, so please accept these two thousand as expenses for this month. Amr bin Nu’man said: Convey my greetings to the respected Amir, and tell him: By Allah, we did not recite the Qur’an for the love of the world and dirhams.
