[6407] 166 - (2499) It was narrated that Abū Mūsā said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I recognize the voices of a group of the Ash'arīs when they recite Qur'ān, when they enter at night, and I can tell where they are from their voices when they recite Qur'ān at night, even though I did not see where they stopped during the day. Among them is a Hakīm[2] who, when he meets the horsemen” – or “the enemy – he says to them: “My companions are telling you to wait for them.”
166 - (2499) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ أَصْوَاتَ رُفْقَةِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ بِالْقُرْآنِ حِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ، وَأَعْرِفُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْوَاتِهِمْ، بِالْقُرْآنِ بِاللَّيْلِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَرَ مَنَازِلَهُمْ حِينَ نَزَلُوا بِالنَّهَارِ، وَمِنْهُمْ حَكِيمٌ إِذَا لَقِيَ الْخَيْلَ - أَوْ قَالَ الْعَدُوَّ - قَالَ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ أَصْحَابِي يَأْمُرُونَكُمْ أَنْ تَنْظُرُوهُمْ "

In Al-Isābah Al-Hāfiz Ibn Hajar said: "Hakīm Al-Ash'arī: I do not know of any information about him, except what occurs in the Two Sahīh, in the Hadīth of Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī, who said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I recognize the voices of a group of the Ash'arīs when they recite Qur'ān, when they enter at night," - meaning in the Masjid - "Among them is a Hakīm, who, when he meets the horsemen' - so he mentioned the Hadīth."
