حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَحَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُعَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ
أَنَّهُ أَتَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: جِئْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ، وَتَرَكْتُ بِهَا رَجُلًا يُمْلِي الْمَصَاحِفَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبِهِ، فَغَضِبَ وَانْتَفَخَ حَتَّى كَادَ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ شُعْبَتَيِ الرَّحْلِ، فَقَالَ: وَمَنْ هُوَ وَيْحَكَ ؟ ! قَالَ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، فَمَا زَالَ يُطْفَأُ وَيُسَيَّرُ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ حَتَّى عَادَ إِلَى حَالِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا. ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، وَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُهُ بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ؛ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ يَسْمُرُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ اللَّيْلَةَ كَذَاكَ فِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِنَّهُ سَمَرَ عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَمِعُ قِرَاءَتَهُ، فَلَمَّا كِدْنَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ رَطْبًا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ يَدْعُو، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهُ: سَلْ تُعْطَهْ، سَلْ تُعْطَهْ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَأَغْدُوَنَّ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَأُبَشِّرَنَّهُ، قَالَ: فَغَدَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ، فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ، فَبَشَّرَهُ، وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا سَابَقْتُهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ

✧ He came to Umar and said: 'I have come, O Commander of the Faithful, from Kufa, and I left there a man who dictates copies of the Quran from memory.' Umar became angry and swelled until he nearly filled the space between the two sides of the saddle. He said, 'Who is he, woe to you?!' He said, 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud.' He kept calming down and composing himself until he returned to his former state. Then he said, 'Woe to you, by Allah I do not know of anyone remaining among the people who is more deserving of that than him. I will tell you about that: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to converse at night with Abu Bakr about some matter concerning the Muslims. One night he conversed with him, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and we went out with him. There was a man standing praying in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood listening to his recitation. When we were about to recognize him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever would like to recite the Quran fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd." Then the man sat down supplicating, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began saying to him, "Ask and you will be given; ask and you will be given." Umar said, "I said: By Allah, I will go to him in the morning and give him glad tidings." He said, "So I went to him in the morning to give him glad tidings, but I found that Abu Bakr had preceded me to him and given him the glad tidings. By Allah, I never raced him to any good but he preceded me to it."
