4944. Narrated Ibrāhīm: The companions of 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) came to Abī Ad-Dardā', (and before they arrived at his home), he looked for them and found them. Then he asked them, "Who among you can recite (the Qur'ān) as 'Abdullāh recites it?" They replied, "All of us." He asked, "Who among you knows it by heart?" They pointed at 'Alqama. Then he asked 'Alqama, "How did you hear 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd reciting Sūrat Al-Lail (The Night)?" 'Alqama recited: "By the male and the female." Abū Ad-Dardā' said, "I testify that I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting it likewise, but these people want me to recite it: 'By Him Who created male and female,' but by Allāh, I will not follow them."

4944 - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ أَصْحَابُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَطَلَبَهُمْ فَوَجَدَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: كُلُّنَا، قَالَ: فَأَيُّكُمْ أَحْفَظُ؟ فَأَشَارُوا إِلَى عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَهُ يَقْرَأُ: {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى} [الليل: 1]؟ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ: وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى، قَالَ: «أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ هَكَذَا»، وَهَؤُلاَءِ يُرِيدُونِي عَلَى أَنْ أَقْرَأَ: {وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالأُنْثَى} [الليل: 3] وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُتَابِعُهُمْ
