Book 62: Companions of the Prophet
Narrated Ibrahim:
‘Alqama went to Sham and when he entered the mosque, he said, “O Allah ! Bless me with a pious
companion.” So he sat with Abu Ad-Darda. Abu Ad-Darda’ asked him, “Where are you from?”
‘Alqama replied, “From the people of Kufa.” Abu Ad-Darda said, “Isn’t there amongst you the Keeper
of the secret which nobody else knows i.e. Hudhaifa?” Al-qama said, “Yes.” Then Abu Ad-Darda
further said, “Isn’t there amongst you the person whom Allah gave Refuge from Satan through the
invocation of His Prophet namely `Ammar?” Alqama replied in the affirmative Abu Ad-Darda said,
“Isn’t there amongst you the person who carries the Siwak (or the Secret) (i.e. of the Prophet (ﷺ) namely
`Abdullah bin Massud)?” Alqama said, “Yes.” Then Abu Ad-Darda asked, “How (Abdullah bin
Masud) used to recite the Sura starting with: “By the night as it envelopes; By the day as it appears in
brightness?” (92.1-2). Alqama said “And by male and female.” Abu Ad-Darda then said, “These
people (of Sham) tried hard to make me accept something other than what I had heard from the
Prophet.”
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ ذَهَبَ عَلْقَمَةُ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا. فَجَلَسَ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ. قَالَ أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ ـ أَوْ مِنْكُمْ ـ صَاحِبُ السِّرِّ الَّذِي لاَ يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ يَعْنِي حُذَيْفَةَ. قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى. قَالَ أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمُ ـ أَوْ مِنْكُمُ ـ الَّذِي أَجَارَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، يَعْنِي عَمَّارًا. قُلْتُ بَلَى. قَالَ أَلَيْسَ فِيكُمْ ـ أَوْ مِنْكُمْ ـ صَاحِبُ السِّوَاكِ أَوِ السِّرَارِ قَالَ بَلَى. قَالَ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ [quran sura=”92″ aya_start=”1″ aya_end=”2″]{وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى * وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى} قُلْتُ {وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى}. قَالَ مَا زَالَ بِي هَؤُلاَءِ حَتَّى كَادُوا يَسْتَنْزِلُونِي عَنْ شَىْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
