وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ثَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا ثِقَةٌ ثِقَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ:
زُبَيْدٌ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً يَخْتِمُهُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً يَخْتِمُهُ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَيْلَتَيْنِ، قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَكَأَنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ نُورًا، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَنِسَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ غِرَّةً أَوْ غَفْلَةً نَادَى فِيهِمْ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ « أَتَتْكُمُ الْمَنِيَّةُ رَاتِبَةً إِمَّا شِقْوَةٌ، وَإِمَّا سَعَادَةٌ ». قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ: وَقَالَ لَنَا هَذَا الشَّيْخُ: أَنَا الْعَامَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي الْعَامَ الْأَوَّلَ، كَانَتْ لِي الْعَامَ الْأَوَّلَ شَاةٌ، وَلَيْسَ لِي الْعَامَ شَاةٌ وَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً، فَادْعُ اللهَ تَعَالَى لِي أَنْ يُزَوِّجَنِي امْرَأَةً صَالِحَةً قَالَ: فَدَعَا اللهَ تَعَالَى فَهُيِّئَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ صَالِحَةٌ

✧ Zubayd recited the Qur’an for twenty years, completing it in a day and a night, and for twenty years completing it in two days and two nights. He said: “By Allah, it was as if there was light on his face.” The Prophet ﷺ, when he sensed negligence or heedlessness among his Companions, would call out to them in his loudest voice: “Death has come to you successively, either misery or happiness.” Umar b. Hafs said: “And this old man said to us: ‘I am better this year than last year. Last year I had a sheep, and this year I have no sheep.’” And a man said to him: “I want to marry a woman, so supplicate to Allah, Exalted is He, for me to marry me to a righteous woman.” He said: “So he supplicated to Allah, Exalted is He, and a righteous woman was prepared for him.”
