[1911] 278 - (...) It was narrated that Abū Wā'il said: "We went to 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd one morning after we had prayed Al-Ghadāh and we greeted him at the door, and he granted us permission (to enter). We stayed at the door for a while, then the slave girl came out and said: 'Will you not enter?' So we entered and found him sitting, reciting Tasbih. He said: 'What kept you from entering when permission had been given to you?' We said: 'Nothing, except that we thought that some of the people of the household might be sleeping.' He said: 'Do you think here is idleness among the family of Ibn Umm 'Abd?' Then he went back to reciting Tasbih until he thought that the sun had risen and he said: 'O girl, look and see whether it has risen.' She looked and saw that it had not risen. Then he went back to reciting
Tasbîh until he thought that the sun had risen and he said: 'O girl, look and see whether it has risen.' She looked and saw that it had risen. He said: 'Praise be to Allâh Who has caused this day of ours to come when we are still in a state of soundness.'" (One of the narrators) Mahdî said: "I think that he said: 'and has not destroyed us for our sins.'" - "A man among the people said: 'I recited all of Al-Mufassal last night.' 'Abdullâh said: 'This is like the hasty recitation of poetry. We heard the pairs, and I remember the pairs that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to recite: 'Eighteen Sûrah from Al-Mufassal and two Sûrah from the family of Hâ-Mîm.'"
