و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ فَأَتَانَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا قَالَ فَكَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى قَالَ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَلَكِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَمَا خَلَقَ فَلَا أُتَابِعُهُمْ.

We went to Syria and Abu Darda' رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ came to us and said: Is there anyone among you who recites according to the recitation of Abdullah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ? I said: Yes, it is I. He again said: How did you hear 'Abdullah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ reciting this verse: (wa'l-lail-i-idha yaghsha = when the night covers)? He ('Alqama) said: I heard him reciting it (like this) (wa'l-lail-i-idha yaghsha) wa-dhakar wal untha = when the night covers and the males and the females). Upon this he said: By Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) reciting in this way, but they (the Muslims of Syria) desire us to recite: (wa ma khalaqa), but I do not yield to their desire.
