حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ:
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنَا أَمِيرُ مَكَّةَ نَافِعُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ - وَسُمِّيَ بِعَمٍّ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَافِعٌ - فَقَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَى مَكَّةَ ؟ قَالَ: اسْتَخْلَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبْزَى، قَالَ: عَمَدْتَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي فَاسْتَخْلَفْتَهُ عَلَى مَنْ بِهَا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَجَدْتُهُ أَقْرَأَهُمْ لِكِتَابِ اللهِ، وَمَكَّةُ أَرْضٌ مُحْتَضَرَةٌ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حَسَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ، قَالَ: نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْفَعُ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضَعُ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَقْوَامًا، وَإِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبْزَى مِمَّنْ رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ

✧ I went out with Umar b. al-Khattab to Makkah. The governor of Makkah, Nafi b. Alqama—named after a paternal uncle of his called Nafi—met us. He said: Whom did you appoint as successor over Makkah? He said: I appointed Abd al-Rahman b. Abza over it. He said: You deliberately chose a man from the freedmen and appointed him over the Quraysh and the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ who are there? He said: Yes, I found him the most versed of them in the Book of God, and Makkah is a land that is frequented, so I wished that they would hear the Book of God from a man of good recitation. He said: What a good thing you have seen. God raises peoples by the Quran and abases peoples by the Quran, and Abd al-Rahman b. Abza is among those whom God raised by the Quran.
