حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ وَكِيعٍ - قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِى وَائِلٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ نَهِيكُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ أَلِفًا تَجِدُهُ أَمْ يَاءً مِنْ مَاءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ أَوْ مِنْ مَاءٍ غَيْرِ يَاسِنٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَكُلَّ الْقُرْآنِ قَدْ أَحْصَيْتَ غَيْرَ هَذَا قَالَ إِنِّى لأَقْرَأُ الْمُفَصَّلَ فِى رَكْعَةٍ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَذًّا كَهَذِّ الشِّعْرِ إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا وَقَعَ فِى الْقَلْبِ فَرَسَخَ فِيهِ نَفَعَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّلاَةِ الرُّكُوعُ وَالسُّجُودُ إِنِّى لأَعْلَمُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِى كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقْرُنُ بَيْنَهُنَّ سُورَتَيْنِ فِى كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ. ثُمَّ قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلْقَمَةُ فِى إِثْرِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِى بِهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِى رِوَايَتِهِ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِى بَجِيلَةَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ نَهِيكُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ.
It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: "A man called Nahik bin Sinan came to 'Abdullah and said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, how do you recite this letter, as Alif or as Ya'? Min ma'in ghayri asin or Min ma'in ghayri yasin?' 'Abdullah said: 'Have you memorized the entire Qur'an apart from this?' He said: 'I recite Al-Muffassal, in one Rak'ah.' 'Abdullah said: 'This is like the hasty recitation of poetry. There are people who recite the Qur'an and it does not go any deeper than their collarbones, but if it settles in the heart and takes root, it will be beneficial. The best of prayer is bowing and prostration, and I know the pairs of Surahs that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) used to recite in each Rak'ah.' Then 'Abdullah stood up and 'Alqamah went in after him, then he came out and said: 'he has told me what they are."' Ibn Numair said in his report: A man from Banu Bajilah came to 'Abdullah, and he did not say: "Nahik bin Sinan."

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
