وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْبَرْبَهَارِيُّ ثنا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالُوا ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّائِفِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْعَدْوَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّهُ أَبْصَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَشْرِقِ ثَقِيفٍ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى قَوْسٍ أَوْ عَصًا حِينَ أَتَاهُمْ يَبْتَغِي عِنْدَهُمُ النَّصْرَ قَالَ «فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا» قَالَ فَوَعَيْتُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَأَنَا مُشْرِكٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالُوا مَاذَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَقَرَأْتُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ مَنْ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِصَاحِبِنَا لَوْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَا يَقُولُ حَقٌّ لَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ

✧ That he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the eastern part of Thaqīf while he was standing on a bow or a staff when he came to them seeking victory. He said: “I heard him reciting ‘By the sky and the night comer’ until he completed it.” He said: “I memorized it in the Jāhiliyya while I was a polytheist, then I recited it in Islam. They said, ‘What did you hear from this man?’ So I recited it to them, and those of Quraysh who were with them said, ‘We know our companion better. If we knew that what he says is true, we would have followed him.’”
