[Machine] O Abu Abdur-Rahman, do all these people recite as you recite? He said: If you wish, I can order some of them, so he recited upon you. He said: Yes, and he said to me: Recite. Ibn Hudair said: You order him to recite, and he is not the best of us in recitation. He said: By Allah, if you wish, I will inform you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to your people and his people. He said: So I recited fifty verses from Maryam, and Habab said: You did well. Abdullah said: I do not recite anything but he recites it, then Abdullah said to Habab: Is it not time for this ring to be thrown away? He said: Surely, you will not see it on me after today, and the ring is gold.
يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَقْرَأُ كَمَا تَقْرَأُ؟ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَمَرْتَ بَعْضَهُمْ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ أَجَلْ فَقَالَ لِي اقْرَأْ فَقَالَ ابْنُ حُدَيْرٍ تَأْمُرُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَلَيْسَ بِأَقْرَئِنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللهِ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَأَخْبَرْتُكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِقَوْمِكَ وَقَوْمِهِ قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً مِنْ مَرْيَمَ فَقَالَ خَبَّابٌ أَحْسَنْتَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا أَقْرَأُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا هُوَ يقَرَؤهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لِخَبَّابٍ أَمَا آنَ لِهَذَا الْخَاتَمِ أَنْ يُلْقَى قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَا تَرَاهُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ وَالْخَاتَمُ ذَهَبٌ
