Narrated Alqama:We were sitting with Ibn Masud when Khabbab came and said, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! Can these young fellows recite Qur'an as you do?" Ibn Mas`ud said, "If you wish I can order one of them to recite (Qur'an) for you ." Khabbab replied, "Yes. "Ibn Mas`ud said, "Recite, O 'Alqama!" On that, Zaid bin Hudair, the brother of Ziyad bin Hudair said, (to Ibn Mas`ud), "Why have you ordered 'Alqama to recite though he does not recite better than we?" Ibn Mas`ud said, "If you like, I would tell you what the Prophet (ﷺ) said about your nation and his (i.e. 'Alqama's) nation." So I recited fifty Verses from Sura-Maryam. `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said to Khabbab, "What do you think (about 'Alqama's recitation)?" Khabbab said, "He has recited well." `Abdullah said, "Whatever I recite, 'Alqama recites." Then `Abdullah turned towards Khabbab and saw that he was wearing a gold ring, whereupon he said, "Hasn't the time for its throwing away come yet?" Khabbab said, "You will not see me wearing it after today," and he threw it away

حدثنا عبدان، عن ابي حمزة، عن الاعمش، عن ابراهيم، عن علقمة، قال كنا جلوسا مع ابن مسعود، فجاء خباب فقال يا ابا عبد الرحمن، ايستطيع هولاء الشباب ان يقرءوا كما تقرا قال اما انك لو شيت امرت بعضهم يقرا عليك قال اجل. قال اقرا يا علقمة. فقال زيد بن حدير اخو زياد بن حدير اتامر علقمة ان يقرا وليس باقرينا قال اما انك ان شيت اخبرتك بما قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في قومك وقومه. فقرات خمسين اية من سورة مريم، فقال عبد الله كيف ترى قال قد احسن. قال عبد الله ما اقرا شييا الا وهو يقروه، ثم التفت الى خباب وعليه خاتم من ذهب فقال الم يان لهذا الخاتم ان يلقى قال اما انك لن تراه على بعد اليوم، فالقاه. رواه غندر عن شعبة
