Ibn Majah
Sahih (Darussalam)
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏‏ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِسُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ ‏{فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا}‏ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ ‏.‏"
It was narrated that "Abdullah said:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: "Recite Qur'an to me,' so I recited Surat An-Nisa' to him, and when I reached (the Verse): "How (will it be) then, when We bring forth from each nation a witness and We bring you as a witness against these people?" [4:41] I looked at him, and his eyes were filled with tears."
