ذِكْرُ قِرَاءَةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى}
[Machine] I arrived in Sham and Abu Darda was informed about it. He came to us and said, "Which one of you recites the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd?" We all said, "We all recite." He asked, "Which one of you recites the best?" He pointed to me with his companions and Abu Darda said, "Did you memorize it?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "How does it recite "By the night when it covers"? I said, "By the night when it covers and by the day when it appears and by the male and the female." He said, "Did you learn it from Abdullah?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, this is how I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and these people, by Allah, want me to stop following them forever."
قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَأُخْبِرَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَتَانَا فَقَالَ «أَيُّكُمْ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيَّ قِرَاءَةَ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ؟ » قَالَ قُلْنَا كُلُّنَا نَقْرَأُ قَالَ «أَيُّكُمْ أَقْرَأُ؟ » قَالَ فَأَشَارَ أَصْحَابِي إِلَيَّ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ «أَحَفِظْتَ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «كَيْفَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى} ؟ » قُلْتُ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى فَقَالَ «أَنْتَ حَفِظْتُهَا مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «وَأَنَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُرِيدُونَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُتَابِعُهُمْ أَبَدًا»
