A boy sat beside me in a mosque at Shâm and he said, "O Allâh ! Bless me with a righteous pious companion." Ad-Dardâ ' asked, From where are you?" He replied, "From the people of Al-Kûfa." Abu Ad-Darda ' said, Is there amongst you the one who keeps the secrets of the Prophet (ﷺ) which nobody knows except him? i.e. Hudhaifa. He said, "Yes ". Ad-Darda ' said, "Is not amongst you the one whom Allâh gave refuge from Satan through the request of the Prophet (ﷺ)? i.e. Ammâr ". He said, "Yes ". Ad-Darda ' (again) said, "Is not amongst you the one who used to carry Siwâk, (water for ablution) and cushion (or pillow for the Prophet (ﷺ) i.e. Abdullâh bin Mas'ud)?" He said, "Yes ". Ad-Darda ' said how Abdullah bin Mas'ud used to recite Sûrah 92: By the night as it envelops; And by the day as it appears in brightness ". He said, "And by male and female ". He missed: " Him Who created." (Ad-Darda ' then said) " These people (of Shâm) tried hard to make me accept something other than what I had heard from Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) " [5:85-O.B]
