حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ: عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ،، ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to him (walking) between Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, when 'Abdullah was praying. He started to recite (Soorat) an-Nisa' and did not stop until he completed it. And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm ‘Abd. Then he began asking (in du’a) and the Prophet (ﷺ) started saying: "Ask, you will be given; ask, you will be given, ask you will be given." And among the things he asked for, he said: O Allah, I ask You for faith that will never change, blessing that will never expire and to accompany Your Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in the highest part of the Paradise of eternity. Then 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) came to ‘Abdullah to tell him the good news, but he found that Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) had beaten him to it so he said: You have beaten me because you are always ahead of us in doing good.
