أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ نَازِلًا عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ رَمَضَانُ بِأَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّا لَمْ نَدَعْ قَارِئًا شَرِيفًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا مَعْرُوفٌ، فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهَذَيْنِ عَلَى نَفَقَةِ شَهْرِكَ هَذَا، فَقَالَ : أَقْرِئْ الْأَمِيرَ السَّلَامَ، وَقُلْ لَهُ :" إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَرَأْنَا الْقُرْآنَ نُرِيدُ بِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَدِرْهَمَهَا "
Muhammad bin Humaid told us, Muhammad bin Bishr told us, Abdullah bin Al-Walid told us, on the authority of Omar bin Ayyub, on the authority of Abu Iyas, he said I was camping with Amr ibn al-Nu`man, and the messenger of Mus`ab ibn al-Zubayr came to him when Ramadan attended him with two thousand dirhams, and he said: The prince is honoring you. Peace be upon him, and he said: We have not called an honorable reciter unless a favor has been done to him from us, so seek help from these two at your expense this month. So he said: Read. Prince, peace be upon him, and say to him: “By God, we have not read the Qur’an intending with it the world and its dirhams.”
