Hum se Malik bin Ismail ne bayan kiya, kaha hum se Israil ne bayan kiya, in se Mugheerah ne, in se Ibrahim ne, in se Alqamah ne bayan kiya ke mein jab Shaam aaya to mein ne do rak'at namaz parh kar yeh dua ki ke Ae Allah! Mujhe koi naik sathi ata farma. Phir mein ek qoum ke pas aaya aur in ki majlis mein baith gaya, thodi hi der baad ek buzurg aaye aur mere pas baith gaye. Mein ne poocha yeh kon buzurg hain? Logon ne bataya ke yeh Abu al-Darda Radi Allahu Anhu hain. Is par mein ne arz kiya ke mein ne Allah Ta'ala se dua ki thi ke koi naik sathi mujhe ata farma, to Allah Ta'ala ne Aap ko mujhe inayat farmaya. Unhon ne daryaft kiya, tumhara watan kahan hai? Mein ne arz kiya Kufa hai. Unhon ne kaha kya tumhare yahan "ibn ummi abdin sahiba al-na'laini wal-wisadi wal-mutharati" (yani Abdullah bin Mas'ud Radi Allahu Anhu) nahi hain? Kya tumhare yahan woh nahi hain jinhein Allah Ta'ala apne Nabi Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam ki zabani Shaitan se panah de chuka hai ke woh unhein kabhi ghalat raste par nahi le ja sakta. (murad Ammar Radi Allahu Anhu se thi) kya tum mein woh nahi hain jo Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam ke bataye hue bahut se bhedon ke hamil hain jinhein in ke siwa aur koi nahi janta. (yani Hudhaifah Radi Allahu Anhu) is ke baad unhon ne daryaft farmaya: Abdullah Radi Allahu Anhu aayat "wal-laili idha yaghsha" ki tilawat kis tarah karte hain? Mein ne unhein parh kar sunayi ke "wal-laili idha yaghsha, wan-nahari idha tajalla, wadh-dhakari wal-untha" is par unhon ne kaha ke Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam ne khud apni zaban mubarak se mujhe bhi isi tarah yaad karaya tha.
