4391. Narrated 'Alqama: We were sitting with Ibn Mas'ūd when Khabbāb came and said, "O Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān! Can these young fellows recite Qur'ān as you do?" Ibn Mas'ūd said, "If you wish I can order one of them to recite (the Qur'ān) for you." Khabbāb replied, "Yes." Ibn Mas'ūd said, "Recite, O 'Alqama!" On that, Zaid bin Ḥudair, the brother of Ziyād bin Ḥudair said, (to Ibn Mas'ūd), "Why have you ordered 'Alqama to recite though he does not recite better than we?" Ibn Mas'ūd said, "If you like, I would tell you what the Prophet ﷺ said about your nation and his (i.e., 'Alqama's) nation." So I recited fifty Verses from Sūrat Maryam. 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) said to Khabbāb, "What do you think (about 'Alqama's recitation)?" Khabbāb said, "He has recited well." 'Abdullāh said, "Whatever I recite, 'Alqama recites." Then 'Abdullāh turned towards Khabbāb and saw that he was wearing a gold ring, whereupon he said, "Hasn't the time for its throwing away come yet?" Khabbāb said, "You will not see me wearing it after today," and he threw it away.

4391 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَجَاءَ خَبَّابٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَيَسْتَطِيعُ هَؤُلاَءِ الشَّبَابُ أَنْ يَقْرَءُوا كَمَا تَقْرَأُ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَمَرْتُ بَعْضَهُمْ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ: أَجَلْ، قَالَ: اقْرَأْ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ، فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حُدَيْرٍ، أَخُو زِيَادِ بْنِ حُدَيْرٍ: أَتَأْمُرُ عَلْقَمَةَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ وَلَيْسَ بِأَقْرَئِنَا؟ قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قَوْمِكَ وَقَوْمِهِ؟ فَقَرَأْتُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً مِنْ سُورَةِ مَرْيَمَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: كَيْفَ تَرَى؟ قَالَ: قَدْ أَحْسَنَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: مَا أَقْرَأُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَقْرَؤُهُ، ثُمَّ التَفَتَ إِلَى خَبَّابٍ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِهَذَا الخَاتَمِ أَنْ يُلْقَى، قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَاهُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ اليَوْمِ، فَأَلْقَاهُ " رَوَاهُ غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ
