أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ
لَهُ زَيْدٌ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنِّي بَيْنَمَا أنا وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَفُلَانٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ نَدْعُو اللهَ وَنَذْكُرُ رَبَّنَا خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَسَكَتْنَا فَقَالَ «عُودُوا لِلَّذِي كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ» قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَدَعَوْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَيَّ قَبْلَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِنَا ثُمَّ دَعَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِثْلَ مَا سَأَلَكَ صَاحِبَايَ هَذَانِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا لَا يُنْسَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «آمِينَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَنَحْنُ نَسْأَلُ اللهَ عِلْمًا لَا يُنْسَى فَقَالَ «سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا الْغُلَامُ الدَّوْسِيُّ»

✧ Zayd said to him: 'Abu Hurayrah, I will tell you. While I, Abu Hurayrah, and so-and-so were in the mosque one day, calling upon God and remembering our Lord, the Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us and sat down with us, so we fell silent. He said: "Return to what you were doing."' Zayd said: 'So I and my two companions supplicated before Abu Hurayrah, and the Messenger of God ﷺ kept saying Amin to our supplications. Then Abu Hurayrah supplicated, saying: "O God, I ask You for the like of what these two companions of mine asked You, and I ask You for knowledge that will not be forgotten." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Amin." We said: "O Messenger of God, we also ask God for knowledge that will not be forgotten." He said: "The Dusi lad beat you to it."'
