Narrated Al-Bara:
The first of the companions of the Prophet who came to us (in Medina), were Mus’ab bin ‘Umar
and Ibn Um Maktum, and they started teaching us the Qur’an. Then came ‘Ammar, Bilal and Sad. Af –
terwards ‘Umar bin Al-Kkattab came along with a batch of twenty (men): and after that the Prophet
came. I never saw the people of Medina so pleased with anything as they were with his arrival, so
that even the little boys and girls were saying, “This is Allah’s Apostle who has come.” He (the Prophet
) did not come (to Medina) till I had learnt Surat Al-Ala and also other similar Suras.

That he heard the Prophet delivering a sermon, and he mentioned the shecamel and the one who
hamstrung it. Allah’s Apostle recited:–
‘When, the most wicked man among them went forth (to hamstrung the she-camel).’ (91.12.)
Then he said, “A tough man whose equal was rare and who enjoyed the protection of his people, like
Abi Zama went forth to (hamstrung) it.” The Prophet then mentioned about the women (in his ser –
mon). “It is not wise for anyone of you to lash his wife like a slave, for he might sleep with her the
same evening.” Then he advised them not to laugh when somebody breaks wind and said, “Why
should anybody laugh at what he himself does?”

of our arrival so he came to us and said, “Is there anybody among you who can recite (Qur’an)” We
replied in the affirmative. Then he asked, “Who is the best reciter?” They pointed at me. Then he told
me to recite, so I recited the verse:–
‘By the night as it envelops ‘By the day as it appears in brightness; By (Him Who created) male and
the female.’ (92.1-3) Abu Ad-Darda’ then said to me, “Did you hear it (like this) from the mouth of
your friend (‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud)?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “I too, heard it (like this) from the mouth of
the Prophet, but these people do not consider this recitation as the correct one.”

citing Surat Al-Lail (The Night)?” Alqama recited:

Allah’s Apostle! Shall we depend (on this fact and give up work)?” He said, “Carry on doing (good
deeds), for every body will find it easy to do (what will lead him to his destined place).” Then he re –
