أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَقُولُ
ذَهَبَ عَلْقَمَةُ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا فَقَعَدَ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ «مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ » قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ السِّرِّ الَّذِي كَانَ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ حُذَيْفَةُ؟ » أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمُ الَّذِي أَجَارَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ؟ أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ السَّوَادِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ؟ وَقَالَ كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى} فَقُلْتُ وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى قَالَ «فَمَا زَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ كَادُوا يُشَكِّكُونِي وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»

✧ ʿAlqama went to Syria. He came to the mosque and prayed two rakʿas, then said: “O Allah, grant me a righteous companion.” He sat with Abu al-Dardaʾ, who said: “From which people are you?” He replied: “From the people of Kufa.” He said: “Is there not among you the keeper of the secret which no one else knew—Hudhayfa? Is there not among you the one whom Allah protected through the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ from Satan—ʿAmmar b. Yasir? Is there not among you the keeper of the black standard—ʿAbd Allah b. Masʿud?” Then he said: “How do you recite this verse: {By the night when it covers, and the day when it shines}?” I said: “And by the male and the female.” He said: “These people kept almost making me doubt, but I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.”
