قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقْرِي، ثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ:
صَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ رَجُلٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَدْعُو وَأَنَا مُمْسِكٌ بِحَصَاةٍ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ كَانَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا سَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ فَلَا تُمْسِكْ بِيَدِكَ الْحَجَرَ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُهُ ذَكَرَ عَبْدَ اللهِ اسْتَأْنَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ، وَانْتَسَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنِي فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَبَشَّرَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَبَشَّرَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَبَشَّرَهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ لَوْ شِئْتُ لَسَمَّيْتُهُ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَبَشَّرَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ، وَحُذَيْفَةُ ؓ جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ ؓ: فَأَيْنَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: أَنْتَ فِي خَيْرٍ أَوْ إِلَى خَيْرٍ

✧ I prayed beside a man and began supplicating while holding a pebble. He turned to me and said: O Abu 'Abd Allah, 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud ؓ used to say: If you ask your Lord, do not hold a stone in your hand. When I heard him mention 'Abd Allah, I felt at ease with him and introduced myself. He began to tell me: Abu Bakr ؓ asked permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he granted him permission and gave him glad tidings of Paradise. Then 'Umar ؓ came, and he granted him permission and gave him glad tidings of Paradise. Then 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud ؓ came, and he granted him permission and gave him glad tidings. Then another man came, whom I could name if I wished, and he granted him permission and gave him glad tidings of Paradise. Hudhayfa ؓ was sitting, and he said: Where am I, O Messenger of Allah? He ﷺ said: You are in good, or heading toward good.
