3742. Narrated 'Alqama: I went to Sham and offered a two Rak'a prayer and then said, "O Allāh! Bless me with a righteous 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) Abū Ad-Dardā." I said (to him), "I prayed to Allāh 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-Kūfa." He said, "Isn't there amongst you Ibn Umm 'Abd, the one who used to carry the shoes, the cushion (or pillow) and the water for ablution?"(1) Is there amongst you the one whom Allāh gave refuge from Satan through the request of His Prophet ﷺ?(2) Is there amongst you the one who keeps the secrets of the Prophet ﷺ which nobody knows except him?"(1). Abū Ad-Dardā' further asked, "How does 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) recite the Sūrah starting with, 'By the night as it envelops.'" (V.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." (V.92:1-3)(2) On this Abū Ad-Dardā' said, "By Allāh, the Prophet ﷺ made me recite the Sūrah in this way while I was listening to him (reciting it)."

3742 - حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنِ المُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ الشَّأْمَ فَصَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا، فَأَتَيْتُ قَوْمًا فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَإِذَا شَيْخٌ قَدْ جَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِي، قُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُيَسِّرَ لِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا، فَيَسَّرَكَ لِي، قَالَ: مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكُوفَةِ، قَالَ: أَوَلَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمْ ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ صَاحِبُ النَّعْلَيْنِ وَالوِسَادِ، وَالمِطْهَرَةِ، وَفِيكُمُ الَّذِي أَجَارَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، - يَعْنِي عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَوَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ سِرِّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي لاَ يَعْلَمُهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كَيْفَ يَقْرَأُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى؟ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ: وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى. وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى قَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى فِيَّ»
