حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ الْقَرْثَعِ، عَنِ قَيْسٍ أَوِ ابْنِ قَيْسٍ - رَجُلٍ مِنْ جُعْفِيٍّ -، ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ، فَقَامَ فَتَسَمَّعَ (١) قِرَاءَتَهُ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، وَسَجَدَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " سَلْ تُعْطَهْ، سَلْ تُعْطَهْ "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: " مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ، فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ مِنَ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ ". قَالَ: فَأَدْلَجْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا ضَرَبْتُ الْبَابَ - أَوْ قَالَ: لَمَّا سَمِعَ صَوْتِي - قَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ؟ قُلْتُ: جِئْتُ لِأُبَشِّرَكَ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: قَدْ سَبَقَكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ. قُلْتُ: إِنْ يَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّهُ (٢) سَبَّاقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ، مَا اسْتَبَقْنَا خَيْرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنَا إِلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ (٣) .،

It was narrated that ‘Umar bin al-Khattab said:
When Abu Bakr and I were with him, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by `Abdullah bin Mas`ood, when he was reciting [in prayer]. He stood and listened to his recitation, then ‘Abdullah bowed and prostrated, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: `Ask, you will be given; ask, you will be given.` Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went away and said: “Whoever would like to recite the Qur`an fresh as it was revealed, let him learn it from Ibn Umm `Abd,` Then I went at night to ‘Abdullah bin Mas`ood to tell him the good news of what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said, and when I knocked on the door - or he said: when he heard my voice - he said: What brings you here at this time? I said: I have come to tell you the glad tidings of what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said. He said: Abu Bakr beat you to it. I said: If he did that, he is always ahead in doing righteous deeds. We never competed in doing good deeds but Abu Bakr beat us to it.
