حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ:، ، قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ (١) فَأَتَانَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ: أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيَّ قِرَاءَةَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَأَشَارُوا إِلَيَّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ أَنَا فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ " وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى قَالَ: قُلْتُ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ: وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى قَالَ: وَأَنَا وَاللهِ " هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَؤُهَا " وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَمَا خَلَقَ فَلَا أُتَابِعُهُمْ (٢)،

Translation

English translation

Alqamah says that once I prayed two rak'ahs in the Grand Mosque of Damascus, Syria, and prayed for good company. There I met Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked me, "Where are you from?" I replied, "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 reciting it in this manner. These people want me to recite 'wa ma khalaqa', but I will not accept what they say."
