٢٧ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ وَالْمُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالا كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) وَمَعَنَا رَبِيعَةُ الرَّأْيِ فَذَكَرْنَا فَضْلَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنْ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لا يَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَتِنَا فَهُوَ ضَالٌّ فَقَالَ رَبِيعَةُ ضَالٌّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ ضَالٌّ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ أُبَيٍّ.
27. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn Farqad and al-Mu’alla ibn Khunays who have said the following: “Once we were in the presence of Abu ‘Abdillah  and with us Rabi’ah al-Ra’y was also present. We spoke of the excellence of the Holy Quran. Abu ‘Abd Allah  said, ‘If ibn Mas’ud does not read the Holy Quran the way we read, he is straying.’ Rabi‘ah then said, ‘(Is it) straying?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, (it is) straying.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah  then said, ‘We read the Holy Quran as my father did.’”
