Sahih Bukhari 4391

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَجَاءَ خَبَّابٌ ، فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَيَسْتَطِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ الشَّبَابُ أَنْ يَقْرَءُوا كَمَا تَقْرَأُ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَمَرْتُ بَعْضَهُمْ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ ، قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، قَالَ : اقْرَأْ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ ، فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حُدَيْرٍ أَخُو زِيَادِ بْنِ حُدَيْرٍ : أَتَأْمُرُ عَلْقَمَةَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ وَلَيْسَ بِأَقْرَئِنَا ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قَوْمِكَ وَقَوْمِهِ ، فَقَرَأْتُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً مِنْ سُورَةِ مَرْيَمَ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : كَيْفَ تَرَى ؟ قَالَ : قَدْ أَحْسَنَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : مَا أَقْرَأُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَقْرَؤُهُ ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى خَبَّابٍ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِهَذَا الْخَاتَمِ أَنْ يُلْقَى ؟ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَاهُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ فَأَلْقَاهُ .رَوَاهُ غُنْدَرٌ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ .

Narrated Alqama: We were sitting with Ibn Masud when Khabbab came and said, O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! Can these young fellows recite Qur'an as you do? Ibn Mas`ud said, If you wish I can order one of them to recite (Qur'an) for you . Khabbab replied, Yes. Ibn Mas`ud said, Recite, O 'Alqama! On that, Zaid bin Hudair, the brother of Ziyad bin Hudair said, (to Ibn Mas`ud), Why have you ordered 'Alqama to recite though he does not recite better than we? Ibn Mas`ud said, If you like, I would tell you what the Prophet said about your nation and his (i.e. 'Alqama's) nation. So I recited fifty Verses from Sura-Maryam. `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said to Khabbab, What do you think (about 'Alqama's recitation)? Khabbab said, He has recited well. `Abdullah said, Whatever I recite, 'Alqama recites. Then `Abdullah turned towards Khabbab and saw that he was wearing a gold ring, whereupon he said, Hasn't the time for its throwing away come yet? Khabbab said, You will not see me wearing it after today, and he throw it away.
