Bayhaqi 2129 — Dislike of sleeping before Isha so that it is delayed

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ جِئْتُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ وَتَرَكْتُ بِهَا رَجُلًا يُمْلِي الْمَصَاحِفَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبِهِ قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ وَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ شُعْبَتَيِ الرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ مَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَمَا زَالَ يُطْفَأُ وَيَسِيرُ الْغَضَبُ حَتَّى عَادَ إِلَى حَالِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ وَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَزَالُ يَسْمُرُ فِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأَنَّهُ سَمَرَ عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَرَجْنَا نَمْشِي مَعَهُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ فَلَمَّا أَعْيَانَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ " ثُمَّ جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ يَدْعُو فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَهُ: " سَلَ تُعْطَهْ " قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَقُلْتُ: لَأَغْدُوَنَّ إِلَيْهِ فَلَأُبَشِّرَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَبَشَّرَهُ فَوَاللهِ مَا سَابَقْتُهُ إِلَى خَيْرِ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ رِوَايَةَ السَّمَرِ مِنْ عُمَرَ لَا مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَلْقَمَةَ.
It is narrated from Alqamah that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) at Arafah and said: O Commander of the Believers! I have come to you from Kufah, and there I met a man who dictates the copies of the Qur'an from memory. Hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and swelled up, until he almost filled the space between the man's two sides. Then he said: Woe to you, who is he? He said: Abdullah bin Mas'ud. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) (on hearing this) seemed to cool down and his anger went away, until he returned to his former state. Then he said: By Allah! I do not know of anyone left among the Muslims more entitled to this than Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). I will tell you about him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to talk late into the night at the house of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) about the affairs of the Muslims. One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) was talking with him after Isha and I happened to be there too. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out and we went out with him. We saw a man standing in the mosque, offering prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began listening to his recitation. Then, as we tried to recognize the man, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh, as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of the son of Umm Abd (Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him))." Then he (Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)) sat down and began to supplicate, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began saying to him: "Ask and you will be given." After that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In the morning I will go to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and give him the glad tidings. (Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: In the morning I went to give him the glad tidings and found that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) had got there before me and had already given Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) the glad tidings. By Allah! I never once tried to get ahead of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in any good deed but he always got there before me.
A group narrated this from al-A'mash, and it contains evidence that the narration about night conversation is reported from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), not from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), in the version that Alqamah transmitted.
