Buraida said that once when he entered the mosque with Allah's Messenger ﷺ at the time of the evening prayer a man was reciting with a loud voice, so he asked Allah's Messenger ﷺ whether he thought the man was hypocritical, but he replied’ “No, he is a penitent believer.” He said that Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari was [also]* reciting in a loud voice, and Allah's Messenger ﷺ began to listen to his recitation. Afterwards Abu Musa sat down and engaged in supplication saying, “O Allah, I call Thee to witness that Thou art Allah than whom there is no god, One, to whom men repair, who hast not begotten and hast not been begotten, and to whom no one is equal.” Allah's Messenger ﷺ then said, “He has asked Allah using His name when asked by which He gives, and when supplicated by which He answers.” Buraida asked Allah's Messenger ﷺ whether he should tell him what he had heard him say, and when he agreed he told him what Allah's Messenger ﷺ had said, and Abu Musa said to him, “Today you are a true brother to me, having told me the words of Allah's Messenger ﷺ.” *This word is not in the text, but Mirqat explains that it must be understood as Abu Musa as not the man referred to above. Razin transmitted it.
