حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: أَتَى عَلْقَمَةُ الشَّامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ وَفِّقْ لِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا قَالَ: فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ: مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ (٣) : مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرِي كَيْفَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَقْرَأُ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ؟ " {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَى} [الليل: ٢] فَقُلْتُ: كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا " وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى " فَقَالَ: " هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَؤُهَا " فَمَا زَالَ بِي هَؤُلَاءِ حَتَّى كَادُوا يُشَكِّكُونِي " ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ الْوِسَادِ وَالسِّوَاكِ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللهِ، ، ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمُ الَّذِي أَجَارَهُ اللهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ يَعْنِي عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمُ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ يَعْنِي حُذَيْفَةَ (١)،

Alqamah says that once I prayed two rak'ahs in the Grand Mosque of Damascus in Syria and prayed for a good companion, then I met Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) there. He asked me, "Where are you from?" I replied that I am from the people of Kufa. He said, "Do you recite the Holy Qur'an according to the recitation of Ibn Mas'ud?" I said, "Yes!" He said, "Recite Surah Al-Lail for me." I recited it in that way. He said, "I heard the Prophet recite it in this manner. People argued with me about this so much that they made me fall into doubt." Then he said, "Are there not among you 'the one with the pillow,' those who know secrets that no one else knows and whom the Prophet declared safe from Satan?" The one with the pillow is Ibn Mas'ud, the knower of secrets is Hudhayfah, and the one protected from Satan is Ammar.
