Sahih al-Bukhari 4391

Translation

We were sitting with Ibn Masud when Khabbab came and said, "O Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman! Can these young fellows recite Qur'an as you do?" Ibn Masʿud said, "If you wish I can order one of them to recite (Qur'an) for you." Khabbab replied, "Yes. "Ibn Masʿud said, "Recite, O 'Alqama!" On that, Zaid bin Hudair, the brother of Ziyad bin Hudair said, (to Ibn Masʿud), "Why have you ordered 'Alqama to recite though he does not recite better than we?" Ibn Masʿud said, "If you like, I would tell you what the Prophet ﷺ said about your nation and his (i.e. 'Alqama's) nation." So I recited fifty Verses from Sura-Maryam. ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud) said to Khabbab, "What do you think (about 'Alqama's recitation)?" Khabbab said, "He has recited well." ʿAbdullah said, "Whatever I recite, 'Alqama recites." Then ʿAbdullah turned towards Khabbab and saw that he was wearing a gold ring, whereupon he said, "Hasn't the time for its throwing away come yet?" Khabbab said, "You will not see me wearing it after today," and he throw it away.
