Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1314

Translation

✧ A man came to 'Umar while he was at 'Arafah and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, I have come from Kufah and left there a man dictating copies of the Quran from memory." 'Umar became angry and swelled up until he almost 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." 'Umar's anger gradually subsided and abated until he returned to his former state. Then he said: "Woe to you, I do not know of anyone more deserving of that than him. I will tell you about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay up at night talking with Abu Bakr about some matter of the Muslims' affairs, and one night he stayed up with him while I was with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out walking, and we went out with him. Suddenly there was a man standing in the mosque praying. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped to listen to his recitation. When we were about to recognize the man, 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.'" He said: "Then the man sat down supplicating, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began saying: 'Ask, and you will be given' twice. 'Umar said: 'I said: By Allah, I will go to him in the morning and give him the good news.' So I went to him in the morning to give him the good news, but I found that Abu Bakr had already preceded me to him and given him the good news. By Allah, I never raced him to any good except that he beat me to it." This is the hadith of Abu Musa, except that he did not say "and swelled up." Salm b. Junadah said: "His anger gradually subsided," and he said: "standing at 'Arafah," and he did not say "used to," and he said: "listening to his recitation," and he said: "'Umar said: By Allah, I will go to him in the morning."

• al-Ḍiyāʾ al-Maqdisī

  سئل الدارقطني عنه فذكر الاختلاف فيه وقال وقد ضبط الأعمش إسناده وحديثه وهو الصواب قيل له فإن البخاري فيما ذكره أبو عيسى عنه حكم بحديث الحسن بن عبيد الله يعني رواه عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن القرثع عن قيس أو ابن قيس رجل من جعفى فقال الدارقطني عندي أن حديث الأعمش هو الصواب والحسن بن عبيد الله ليس بالقوي ثم قال لا يقاس الحسن بالأعمش

  machine translational-Dāraquṭnī was asked about him, and he mentioned the disagreement concerning him and said: "al-Aʿmash preserved its chain of transmission and its ḥadīth, and that is the correct one." It was said to him: "But al-Bukhārī, as Abū ʿĪsā mentioned from him, ruled in favour of the ḥadīth of al-Ḥasan b. ʿUbaydillāh," meaning that he narrated it from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from al-Qarthaʿ, from Qays or Ibn Qays, a man from Juʿfī. So al-Dāraquṭnī said: "In my view the ḥadīth of al-Aʿmash is the correct one, and al-Ḥasan b. ʿUbaydillāh is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī)." Then he said: "al-Ḥasan is not to be compared with al-Aʿmash." Report a problem
