[1918] 284 - (...) It was narrated that ‘Alqamah said: “I met Abû Ad-Dardâ’ and he said to me: ‘Where are you from?’ I said: ‘From Al-Irâq.’ He said: ‘Which part?’ I said: ‘Al-Kûfah.’ He said: ‘Do you recite Qur’ân according to the recitation of ‘Abdullâh bin Mas’ûd?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Recite “Wal-laili idhâ yaghshâ (By the night as it envelops)”’[1] I recited: ‘Wail- laili idha yaghshâ wan-nahâri idha tajalla wadh-dhakari wal-unthâ (By the night as it envelops, the day as it appears in brightness, and the male and the female).’ He smiled then he said: ‘This is how I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recite it.’”
