حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ مِنْ بَنِي بَجِيلَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: نَهِيكُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ أَيَاءً تَجِدُهَا أَوْ أَلِفًا: مِنْ مَاءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ: أَوَكُلَّ الْقُرْآنِ أَحْصَيْتَ غَيْرَ هَذِهِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَقْرَأُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ، إِنَّ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ، وَلَيَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أَقْوَامٌ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ إِذَا قَرَأَهُ فَرَسَخَ فِي الْقَلْبِ نَفَعَ، إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ فَجَاءَ عَلْقَمَةُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: سَلْهُ لَنَا عَنِ النَّظَائِرِ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ؟ قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ فَسَأَلَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: عِشْرُونَ سُورَةً مِنْ أَوَّلِ الْمُفَصَّلِ فِي تَأْلِيفِ عَبْدِ اللهِ.

✧ A man from Banu Bajilah called Nahik b. Sinan came to 'Abdullah and said: 'O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, how do you recite this verse - with a ya' or an alif: "from water other than asin"?' 'Abdullah said to him: 'Have you enumerated all of the Quran except this?' He said: 'I recite the mufassal in one rak'ah.' 'Abdullah said: 'This is hasty recitation like the hasty recitation of poetry. Indeed, among the best of prayer are bowing and prostration. There will surely be people who recite the Quran but it does not go beyond their collarbones. However, when it is recited and becomes firmly rooted in the heart, it benefits. I know the pairs of surahs that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite - two surahs in one rak'ah.' Then he stood and entered, and 'Alqamah came and entered upon him. We said to him: 'Ask him for us about the pairs that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite - two surahs in one rak'ah.' He entered and asked him, then came out to us and said: 'Twenty surahs from the beginning of the mufassal in the arrangement of 'Abdullah.'
