عربی (اصل)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ قَدِمْنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ فَأَتَانَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ أَفِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيَّ قِرَاءَةَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَأَشَارُوا إِلَيَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا فَقَالَ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ { وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى } قَالَ قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ { وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى } وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى قَالَ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَمَا خَلَقَ فَلَا أُتَابِعُهُمْ.

Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, al-A'mash narrated to us, from Ibrahim, from Alqamah. He said: We arrived in Sham and Abu al-Darda' came to us and said: "Is there anyone among you who can recite to me the recitation of Abdullah?" They pointed to me. He said: I said, "Yes, I can." He said: "How did you hear Abdullah recite this verse: 'By the night when it covers, and the day when it appears'?" He said: I said, "I heard him recite: 'By the night when it covers, and the day when it appears, and the male and the female.'" He said: "By Allah, I too heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recite it this way, but these people want me to recite 'and what He created,' but I will not follow them."
