حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَحْفَظُ الْقَرَائِنَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سُورَةً مِنْ الْمُفَصَّلِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ مِنْ آلِ حم حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ والْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ تَحَدَّثْنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى أَكْرَيْنَا الْحَدِيثَ فَذَكَرَهُ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Indeed there are chambers in Paradise whose outsides can be seen from within and whose insides can be seen from without.' A bedouin stood and said: 'For whom are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'For those who speak kindly, feed (the hungry), fast regularly, and pray at night while people are sleeping.'
