[Machine] He arrived in Damascus and entered the mosque of Damascus and prayed two units of prayer in it and said, "O Allah, grant me a righteous companion." Then he came and sat with Abu Darda and Abu Darda said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am from the people of Kufa." Abu Darda said, "How did you hear Ibn Umm Abd reciting: 'By the night when it covers, and [by] the day when it appears?' He said, 'Alqamah and Zikr and An-Nisa.' Abu Darda said, 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So they continued to question me until they doubted me. Then he said, 'Wasn't there among you the one who had the sleeping mat and the one who had the secret that no one else knew, and the one who was saved from the devil by the tongue of the Prophet ﷺ ?' The one with the sleeping mat was Ibn Mas'ud, and the one with the secret was Hudhaifah, and the one who was saved from the devil was 'Ammar.

I went to Sham and offered a two-rakʿat prayer and then said, "O Allah! Bless me with a good pious companion." So I went to some people and sat with them. An old man came and sat by my side. I asked, "Who is he?" They replied, "(He is) Abu-Ad-Darda.' I said (to him), "I prayed to Allah to bless me with a pious companion and He sent you to me." He asked me, "From where are you?" I replied, "From the people of Al-Kufa." He said, "Isn't there amongst you Ibn Um ʿAbd, the one who used to carry the shoes, the cushion(or pillow) and the water for ablution? Is there amongst you the one whom Allah gave Refuge from Satan through the request of His Prophet. Is there amongst you the one who keeps the secrets of the Prophet ﷺ which nobody knows except him?" Abu Darda further asked, "How does ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud) recite the Sura starting with, 'By the Night as it conceals (the light)." (92.1) Then I recited before him: 'By the Night as it envelops: And by the Day as it appears in brightness; And by male and female.' (91.1-3) On this Abu Ad-Darda' said, "By Allah, the Prophet ﷺ made me recite the Sura in this way while I was listening to him (reciting it).

'Alqama replied, "From the people of Kufa." Abu Ad-Darda said, "Isn't there amongst you the Keeper of the secret which nobody else knows i.e. Hudhaifa?" Al-qama said, "Yes." Then Abu Ad-Darda further said, "Isn't there amongst you the person whom Allah gave Refuge from Satan through the invocation of His Prophet namely ʿAmmar?" Alqama replied in the affirmative Abu Ad-Darda said, "Isn't there amongst you the person who carries the Siwak (or the Secret) (i.e. of the Prophet ﷺ namely ʿAbdullah bin Massud)?" Alqama said, "Yes." Then Abu Ad-Darda asked, "How (Abdullah bin Masud) used to recite the Sura starting with: "By the night as it envelopes; By the day as it appears in brightness?" (92.1-2). Alqama said "And by male and female." Abu Ad-Darda then said, "These people (of Sham) tried hard to make me accept something other than what I had heard from the Prophet."

I went to Sham and was offering a two-rakʿat prayer; I said, "O Allah! Bless me with a (pious) companion." Then I saw an old man coming towards me, and when he came near I said, (to myself), "I hope Allah has given me my request." The man asked (me), "Where are you from?" I replied, "I am from the people of Kufa." He said, "Weren't there amongst you the Carrier of the (Prophet's) shoes, Siwak and the ablution water container? Weren't there amongst you the man who was given Allah's Refuge from the Satan? And weren't there amongst you the man who used to keep the (Prophet's) secrets which nobody else knew? How did Ibn Um ʿAbd (i.e. ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud) use to recite Surat-al-lail (the Night:92)?" I recited:-- "By the Night as it envelops By the Day as it appears in brightness. And by male and female." (92.1- 3) On that, Abu Darda said, "By Allah, the Prophet ﷺ made me read the Verse in this way after listening to him, but these people (of Sham) tried their best to let me say something different."

'Alaqama went to Sham and came to the mosque and offered a two-rakʿat prayer, and invoked Allah: "O Allah! Bless me with a (pious) good companion." So he sat beside Abu Ad-Darda' who asked, "From where are you?" He said, "From the people of Kufa." Abu Darda' said, "Wasn't there among you the person who keeps the secrets (of the Prophet ﷺ ) which nobody knew except him (i.e., Hudhaifa (bin Al-Yaman)). And isn't there among you the person whom Allah gave refuge from Satan through the request (tongue) of Messenger of Allah ﷺ? (i.e., ʿAmmar).

How did Ibn Masʿud use to recite 'By the night as it conceals (the light)?" (Sura 92). 'Alqama said, "Wadhdhakari Wal Untha' (And by male and female.") Abu Ad-Darda added. 'These people continued to argue with me regarding it till they were about to cause me to have doubts although I heard it from Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

He asked me, "Who are you?" I said, "I am from the people of Kufa." He asked, "Do you know how Abdullah used to recite this verse?" [By the night when it covers, and by the day when it appears, and by He who created the male and female.] So, I said, "He used to recite it as: 'By the night when it covers, and by the day when it appears, and by the male and female.'" He said, "That is how I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite it." He continued to question me until I began to doubt myself. Then, he said, "Isn't among you the one who uses the cushion and the tooth stick?" He meant Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. "Isn't among you the one whom Allah protected from the tongue of his Prophet from the Devil?" He meant Ammar ibn Yasar. "Isn't among you the one who knows the secret that no one else knows?" He meant Hudhayfah.

[Machine] I heard Ibrahim say that Alqamah went to Damascus. He came to the mosque and prayed two units of prayer, then said, "O Allah, grant me a righteous companion." He sat next to Abu Darda and asked, "Who are you?" Abu Darda said, "I am from the people of Kufa." Alqamah asked, "Do you not have the companion of the secret who no one else knew except Hudhaifah?" Alqamah continued, "Do you not have the one whom Allah entrusted with protection from the devil through the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ , Ammar ibn Yasir?" And do you not have the companion of the blackness, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud?" Then Alqamah asked, "How do you read this verse, 'And [by] the night when it covers and [by] the day when it appears'?" Abu Darda replied, "I said, 'And [by] the male and female.' He said, 'These people continued to doubt me, even though I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .'"

[Machine] Al-Qama from Sham came and entered the mosque and performed prayer in it. Then he approached a group and sat among them. A man came and sat next to me, so I said, "Praise be to Allah, I hope that Allah has answered my prayer." He said, "And who is that?" al-Qama said, "I prayed to Allah to grant me a righteous companion, and I hope it is you." Abu Al-Darda' said, "Who are you?" I said, "I am from the people of Kufa or from the people of Iraq, and then from the people of Kufa." Abu Al-Darda' said, "Didn't you have the one who possesses the secret that no one else knows, meaning Hudhayfah?" He said, "Then he said, “Do you preserve it as Abdullah used to recite?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘{By the night when it covers, and [by] the day when it appears}.’ Al-Qama said, "So I said, 'And the male and the female.' Abu Al-Darda' said, 'By Allah, whom there is no deity except Him, this is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite it, from (fihi) to (fiiya).' They continued on like this until they almost turned me away from it."  

ابن حبّان:٧١٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ

أَتَى عَلْقَمَةُ الشَّامَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ ثُمَّ مَالَ إِلَى حَلْقَةٍ فَجَلَسَ فِيهَا قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ دَعْوَتِي قَالَ وَذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِيَ جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا فَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ » قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أَوْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ ثُمَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ «أَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ السِّرِّ الَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ أَحَدٌ يَعْنِي حُذَيْفَةَ » قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَتَحْفَظُ كَمَا كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «{وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى} قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ فَقُلْتُ وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ هَكَذَا أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى فِيَّ فَمَا زَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ حَتَّى كَادُوا يَرُدُّونَنِي عَنْهَا»
