Musnad Ahmad 175 (Book 2, Hadith 92) #33867
Appreciation for Reciting the Quran

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's appreciation of Abdullah bin Mas'ood's recitation of the Quran and how Abu Bakr was always ahead in doing good deeds.

It was narrated from Qais bin Marwan that he came to 'Umar and said: I have come from Kufah, O Ameer al-­Mu'mineen, and I left behind in it a man who dictates the Mushaf From memory'.Umar got exceedingly angry and said: Who is he, woe to you? He said: 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood'.Umar began to calm down, and went back to normal, then he said: Woe to you, I do not know of anyone who is more qualified to do that than him, and I will tell you about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay up at night talking with Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه discussing some affairs of the Muslims. He stayed up talking with him one night, and I was with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, and we went out with him, and we saw a man standing and praying in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ listened to his recitation, and as soon as we recognized him the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd'. Then the same man sat and offered supplication (du'a') and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started saying to him: 'Ask, you will be given;ask, you will be given"'.Umar said: By Allah, I shall go to him tomorrow and tell him the glad tidings. I went to him the next morning to tell him the glad tidings, and I found that Abu Bakr had beaten me to it and given him the glad tidings. By Allah, I never competed with him to do good but he beat me to it.
