حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَنِي بَجِيلَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَهِيكُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ أَيَاءً تَجِدُهَا أَوْ أَلِفًا مِنْ مَاءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ يَاسِنٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَوَكُلَّ الْقُرْآنِ أَحْصَيْتَ غَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ إِنَّنِي لَأَقْرَأُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ إِنَّ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ وَلَيَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أَقْوَامٌ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُ إِذَا قَرَأَهُ فَرَسَخَ فِي الْقَلْبِ نَفَعَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ فَجَاءَ عَلْقَمَةُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ سَلْهُ لَنَا عَنْ النَّظَائِرِ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ فَسَأَلَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ عِشْرُونَ سُورَةً مِنْ أَوَّلِ الْمُفَصَّلِ فِي تَأْلِيفِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3607
It was narrated that Shaqeeq bin Salamah said: A man from Banu Bajeelah who was called Naheek bin Sinan came to 'Abdullah (RA) and said: O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, how do you recite this verse? Do you find it ya' or alif? [i.e., ghair asin or ghair yasin] "water the taste and smell of which are not changed (min ma'in ghair asin)" [Muhammad 47:15]. 'Abdullah said to him: Have you read all the Qur'an except this? He said: i recite al- Mufassal [the Soorahs from Qaf to the end of the Qur'an] in one rak'ah. 'Abdullah said: Do you recite Qur'an as you recite poetry? The best part of the prayer is bowing and prostration, and some people recite the Qur'an but it does not go past their collarbones. But if he recites it and it takes root in his heart, he will benefit from it. I know the pairs of soorahs that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to recite in one rak'ah. Then he went in and asked him, then he came out to us and said: Twenty soorahs from the beginning of al-Mufassal, in the Mushaf of 'Abdullah.
