Hadith text

Narrated Ibrahim:'Alaqama went to Sham and came to the mosque and offered a two-rak`at prayer, and invoked Allah: "O Allah! Bless me with a (pious) good companion." So he sat beside Abu Ad-Darda' who asked, "From where are you?" He said, "From the people of Kufa." Abu Darda' said, "Wasn't there among you the person who keeps the secrets (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) which nobody knew except him (i.e., Hudhaifa (bin Al-Yaman)). And isn't there among you the person whom Allah gave refuge from Satan through the request (tongue) of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)? (i.e., `Ammar). Isn't there among you the one who used to carry the Siwak and the cushion (or pillows (of the Prophets)? (i.e., Ibn Mas`ud). How did Ibn Mas`ud use to recite 'By the night as it conceals (the light)?" (Sura 92). 'Alqama said, "Wadhdhakari Wal Untha' (And by male and female.") Abu Ad-Darda added. 'These people continued to argue with me regarding it till they were about to cause me to have doubts although I heard it from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)

Ibrahim bataate hain: Alqama Sham gaye aur Masjid mein aakar do rakat namaz padhi, aur Allah se dua ki, 'Aye Allah! Mujhe ek achha (neik) saathi de.' To wo Abu Ad-Darda ke paas baithe, jinhone pucha, 'Tum kahaan se ho?' Unhone kaha, 'Kufa ke logon mein se.' Abu Darda ne kaha, 'Kya tum mein wo shaks nahi tha jo (Nabi ke) raazdaar the jinhein koi aur nahi jaanta tha (yaani Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman)? Aur kya tum mein wo shaks nahi hai jise Allah ne Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ki darkhwaast (zubaan) se Shaitaan se panaah di (yaani Ammar)? Kya tum mein wo shaks nahi hai jo Siwak aur takiya (ya Nabi ke takiye) le jaaya karta tha (yaani Ibn Masud)? Ibn Masud "Wal-Laili Iza Yaghsha" (92) kaise padha karte the?' Alqama ne kaha, '"Wadhdhakari Wal Untha" (aur nar aur maada ki qasam).' Abu Ad-Darda ne aage kaha, 'In logon ne isper mere saath itni behas ki ke mujhe shak hone laga, halaanke maine ye Allah ke Rasool (SAW) se khud suna tha.'
